Anyone planning Greece this year?

[smithlane]

I am jumping aboard the Greek holiday train. We booked the Nana Golden Beach hotel through TUI last night, staying for 7 nights from the 19th. I really hope I’ve chosen well! To be honest I’m that desperate for a holiday all I’m in the market for is guaranteed sunshine, a sun bed and unlimited cocktails 🍹!

Just so I’ve got this right in my head we are 3 double vaccinated adults and a non vaccinated 16 year old. We need to get DS16 an LFT 48 hours before or a PCR 72 hours before, is this the time from arrival into Greece?
We will order the £20 Chromatic tests to take with us for the 3 day LFT before departure back to the U.K. and the day 2 PCR for when we’re home.
I know we need to fill out a PLF, how long beforehand can we do this?

Welcome to the hopeful holidays to Greece club!

I got confused over the pre holiday test, so I've booked the LFT within 2 days of our intended landing time in Greece, to be on the safe side. We also have 3 double vaccinated and a 16 year old.

The PLF for going to Greece can be done straight away.

For the PLF to re-enter UK it can, as of a few days ago, be submitted within 48 hours of arrival in the UK.

To be honest it's worth checking the site information again in case anything changes.

Greece is staying amber! Looks like we may all be going, excited, excited, excited.

Anyone remember that episode of Friends when Chandler bluffs that he’s going to Yemen…never thought he’d actually have go and then ends up going?

Well…looks like we’re all going to Yemen (or in this case Greece)…😂

Sooooo relieved with the news last night! After lots of to-ing and fro-ing over the weekend, and news that TUI might be cancelling our flight, we are good to go! Off to Rhodes on Sat for 11 nights. Final hurdle is DS15 LFT test in the morning. Even booked a last minute one at the airport early sat morning in case there are any issues getting results back etc- felt I needed to cover all bases! This will have been THE most stressful run up to a holiday ever, but will have been completely worth it once I’m on that sunlounger with a cocktail in my hand! 😀

He announced that late!

We have one more travel announcement before we go in September, am just praying it stays as it is, or even better, they scrap the test before you return.
