The popular holiday destination has cancelled its indoor mask-wearing mandate, so travellers will no longer be required to wear face coverings in taxis, indoor public spaces and on flights.

However, travellers to Greece will still need to wear a mask on public transport. “Mandatory mask-wearing remains in hospitals, nursing homes and urban transport like buses, the metro and trams,” said Greece’s health minister Thanos Plevris.

In all other spaces, such as restaurants, hotels, entertainment venues and shopping centres, there is no legal requirement to wear a mask.
