Clear blue oceans, whitewashed buildings, fresh fish and baklava. Is there any destination more peaceful than an island in Greece? If you’ve been searching for the perfect vacation destination this summer, the flight deals from flydubai and Wizz Air might just tip the scales in Greece’s favour.
Vaccinated travellers from the UAE can take advantage of the safe travel corridor between the UAE and Greece, which means you won’t need to quarantine when you arrive in Greece or when you come back, as long as you’re fully vaccinated. The Dubai Health Authority and Al Hosn apps will be recognised by Greek authorities, making travel simple for those who have been vaccinated. Just be sure to follow the local authorities’ guidelines when it comes to wearing masks and social distancing while you’re on holiday.
Summer is a popular time to travel from the UAE, and while Greece is still a sunny destination that reaches up to 36 degrees in July, it’s cooler than the UAE’s toasty temperatures.
