Foreign tourists from December 19 can visit Greece only with a negative test for coronavirus, the Russian embassy said. When visiting most establishments, you must also present a certificate or certificate of vaccination.

“To enter, the passenger must present a certificate of a negative result of a PCR or express test (validity period – 72 and 24 hours, respectively), as well as fill out a PLF form on travel.gov.gr,” the Russian Embassy in Greece said in a statement Facebook.

Additional testing is also underway at the airport in Greece. If a coronavirus is detected, the sick person is quarantined for 10 days. For the vaccinated, the quarantine is 7 days.

In addition, foreigners must present a printed vaccination certificate or certificate when visiting most public places. Documents are not required only at the entrance to government offices, grocery stores, pharmacies and temples.
