Greece’s tourism minister Harry Theoharis has vowed to “target areas of concern” to UK authorities to try to keep the country open to UK tourists.

While Greece has maintained its travel corridor with England, Scottish holidaymakers now have to quarantine for 14 days on their return from the country and the Welsh government has instigated quarantine on six Greek islands - Mykonos, Zakynthos, Lesvos, Paros and Antiparos and Crete.

Theoharis said the decisions by UK governments were a “mixed bag” but noted that England had not changed its rules on travel to Greece.
