Could someone explain the term "travel bubble"...??? I get how it could be between Aus and NZ but how is that relevant to Greece. Greece is in the process of opening up to most EU and maybe other countries so that will hardly be a bubble coming from Aus or NZ.

At the time I posted this there was the thought that those three countries would open up to each other only because they all had good statistics. Of course that is no longer the case, but Australia has opened up to New Zealand (not the reverse). Hoefully soon Australians will be able to travel to NZ as well.

Finally the travel bubble between Australia and New Zealand has opened up, with the caveat that it can always be paused or stopped. Just waiting to hear about other countries now. At one stage they were talking about Singapore, but so far no recent discussion of Greece.

Hi Menachem, that original post about the travel bubble with Greece was from last year when things were quite different. I meant to revive it (see my last comment) only to add the news about half of that travel bubble. Australians still are for the most part not able to travel abroad except for some exceptional circumstances, and now as predicted last year, we are able to go to NZ. I am sure eventually that bubble will open to other destinations and maybe eventually Greece. I know things aren't right yet in most of Europe.

Hey guys, me and my wife planned our vacation to Greece and we hope that we can visit this beautiful country. We are not sure when the bubble will open here in the USA. I read that Greece will reopen for tourists around the mid May, as long as they show proof of vaccination, antibodies or a negative Covid-19 test result before traveling. My brother who is in Australia told me that they will open the bubble there around the end of May. Is that true?
P.s. Be patient!
