'I'm astounded it's been put on the quarantine list' - Britons on Greek islands react to rule change
Telegraph, 09 Sep 2020
Two British holidaymakers have been describing how their holiday on Greek islands has been affected by the change in policy on quarantine.
On Monday, the government announced that seven Greek islands had been dropped from England’s quarantine-free list.
From 4am on September 9, travellers returning from the Greek islands of Lesvos, Tinos, Serifos, Mykonos, Crete, Santorini and Zakynthos (Zante) must quarantine for 14 days. Mainland Greece will retain its travel corridor with the UK.
The decision comes after Wales removed six Greek islands from its quarantine-free list last week. Adding to the confusion, however, two islands ditched by Wales (Paros and Antiparos) have not been ditched by England, while the loss of Santorini, Tinos and Serifos is exclusive to England.
