AS from August 11th all bars on Crete, gay or otherwise, must close at midnight, which for the LGBT community which traditionally does not go for a night out until 10 or even 11pm, means any idea of a good night out is out of the question.
It also causes something for bar owners as well, and we do have to consider them of course.
In addition, travellers from some countries, including The Netherlands, one of our biggest markets on Crete, must now present a negative pcr test taken not more than 72 hours before they arrive....
Just as a point to note .... Greece recently saw a record of 203 new coronavirus infections (29 cases were “imported” from travellers abroad), raising the total number to 5,623. The death toll in the country stands at 212.
Many have now given up on any ideas of travelling anywhere for the remainder of this year at least.
