Greece will start opening hotels in June, but it is not expecting a summer boom as coronavirus keeps potential visitors at home.
Greece, one of the world’s most-loved travel destinations, is looking to reopen to tourists from July as it hopes to restart a pillar of its economy that has been battered by coronavirus restrictions.
Germany has started its gradual reopening process, but hopes of taking a summer holiday in the midst of a pandemic were dashed this week as it extended its warning against international travel to mid-June. Foreign minister Heiko Maas: “People won't be able to spend a holiday as they usually know it, on full beaches or in full mountain huts."
Spain and France do not intend to reopen their beaches until late June, while Austria could begin welcoming tourists from neighbouring Germany soon, after it lifted restrictions at some ski resorts.
