Hi
I am so confused (as I'm sure we all are) about travel options and holidays. We have booked with onthebeach.co.uk to go to Crete early May. The FCO website guidelines have put this on there today:
I am so confused (as I'm sure we all are) about travel options and holidays. We have booked with onthebeach.co.uk to go to Crete early May. The FCO website guidelines have put this on there today:
The Greek authorities have introduced a number of precautionary measures in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. These include the closure of schools, public meeting places, including bars and restaurants, museums and archaeological sites, beach clubs and shopping malls.
The Greek government has announced that from 16 March, all people arriving in Greece from abroad are required to go into 14 days’ self-isolation.
BUT the FCO haven't said not to travel, so therefore if my understanding is correct the holiday still stands.. however obviously not going to be able to go with that restriction in place! Have contacted them but wondering as others must be in the same boat, what the options are?

Wait a bit longer to see what happens - things could change a lot between now and then, potentially for the worse. You may well find the government advice changes in the interim, or the holiday is pulled.
Does your insurance have travel disruption cover?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
