Your probably right Alex but how doesn't that help people like Chris who spend thousand on marina fees and now can't get back to their boat . Topping that or the once that won't get back to mid or late season and have to pay a full months tax talk about insult to injury .
I be finding a different way back .

Just tried their PLF. It won't accept any Greek post codes. I've tried Preveza 48100, Parga 48060 and Lefkada 31100. So, I guess no one will be let in until they fix this. Will be interesting to see how Easyjet handle it.

They've fixed the post code problem. And my PLF was acknowledged, which is hopefully an indication that they will not ban the flight (on 2 July)

No direct flights from UK and Sweden to Greece until July 15 - Keep Talking Greece
Looks like driving again, maybe cycling as I need to get rid of my lockdown belly!

Someone posting on Med Sailing page on FB has just entered Greece driving from UK. Not asked for PLF. No border problems other than normal delays.

Vyv, I think the PLF is only required from the 1st July although for flights submission of the form is required 48 hours before arrival

Rang Minoan today, they still won't give us our provisional booking for the 8th as a confirmed booking. We have to give them a call to check on the 3rd.

Well I've done the Balkans route and I think it was quicker than ferry . Drove from Calais to Danubius hotel Budapest via Vienna non stop other than a 3 hour kip in lay by. Then down to Skopje hotel/ hovel. lots of trouble on border over papers had to pay a bribe going into the country and again leaving . Also got fined 3 time same day for no vignettes in Hungary as there were no signs in English to tell. Suggest Bulgaria but no information on that part.

Glad to hear about the PLF (did not know about it)I left Ireland on Saturday - no problem at Cherbourg or the Italian border st Mont Blanc. I am getting the ferry from Ancona to Igoumenitsa on Wednesday arriving Thursday 2nd July.

If we get any future messing by Minoan we will probably attempt the Balkans route. We will probably stay clear of North Macedonia for reasons of troubles you had, also my insurance doesn't cover me for there, and I definitely don't wish to pay any bungs or fines. . . . . . . . So Bulgaria is probably the better option.
