On April 19th, Greece opened up its borders to travellers from the US who can provide proof of vaccination, or proof of a negative COVID test at least 14 days prior to arrival. Keep in mind you also need a negative COVID test in order to return back to the US, whether or not you are vaccinated. However, this means that your travel destinations list just got a little longer! And with Greece being one of the top destinations of all time, this is perfect timing for your summer getaway.
