Off to Crete in a week. Heraklion airport coming top of worst airport lists pre-pandemic so cannot wait to go through that.

I remember going to Kefalonia last October and it was non vaccine but lowish case rate period and they were just plucking incoming passengers to be swabbed once done you had to quarantine for two days in your room until the results came through it wasn’t a good feeling anyone looking at the floor trying not to be noticed. Guy in charge was a right fucking charmer.
Luckily I escaped with being herded. I hope it’s got better since.

I've got Zante a week on Saturday....was supposed to be Kos but hotel closure enforced a change.
It's random testing on arrival in Greece I believe, and I've heard the lead passenger is the most likely person to be pulled up (if you're travelling 2+ on one booking)
I got pulled up for a test on arrival in Halkidiki last October but there wasn't any need to isolate in the room, could carry on with the holiday as normal and you'd only be contacted if it came back positive. Perhaps different destinations and islands had different policies though.
For anyone considering a jolly, Jet2 are almost giving away holidays to Greece at the end of the month/start of next.

Its just south of Dubrovnik. Two villages next to each other in a cove called Srebreno and Mlini, we are at the Srebreno end. Nice little spot, and only about 15/20mins on a bus into Dubrovnik old town if we want something a bit livelier.

You can pick up a week self catering from a little over £200 a head, depending on dates/destination. Flights, hotel, luggage and transfers etc all included. The bank holiday Monday looks to be the cheapest date to depart. Will screengrab some stuff below.
We went to Halkidiki 7th to 12th Oct and had pretty sunny clear days with few clouds, temps were early to mid 20s and very comfortable. Once the sun went down though it did get quite chilly, and you'd need trousers and a jumper most evenings. Can get a week 4* half board first week of October for £333pp.

Haha all the threats of being denied boarding if you don't do that form at least the day before departure and then they just ain't interested in it.
Good to hear Zante is treating you well, forecast looks amazing over there right now.
Looking forward to some gyros and Mythos.
