On the official FB page of the Embassy of Ukraine in Greece such information
"ATTENTION CITIZENS!
AS OF MAY 14, 2021
THE DECISION OF THE GREEK PROCEDURE REGARDING THE ENTRY OF UKRAINIAN CITIZENS TO GREECE FOR A TOURIST PURPOSE HAS NOT BEEN MADE!

It seems that the Greeks have changed their minds and will still let us in. )

Really changed their minds, updated the information of the Embassy of Ukraine in Greece.
"On May 14, 2006, citizens of Ukraine were allowed to enter.
Requirements for entry into the territory of Greece for citizens of Ukraine for tourist purposes:
1. Fill in a special PLF form (passenger form) 24 hours before crossing the border ( https://travel.gov.gr).
2. Issuance of a certificate for completion of vaccination made not earlier than 14 days before the date of entry or
- negative result of the PCR test on SARS-CoV-2 with translation into English, which was made not earlier than 72 hours (counting from the time of taking the fence to the arrival at the checkpoint in Greece);
or
- certificate of coronavirus disease and recovery or certificate of antibodies after coronavirus disease with English translation (validity of certificates: from 2 to 9 months from the date of issue).
The above requirements also apply to children over 5 years of age.

Continuation
SARS-CoV-2 testing may be selective upon arrival at the Greek border crossing point. If the test is positive, the infected will be in 14-day quarantine at government-designated locations.
Citizens can enter through:
international airports in Greece;
seaports of Patras, Abbess, Corfu;
land border checkpoints Promahonas and Ormenio (round the clock); Evzoni (from 7:00 to 23:00).

Here is the official information from the embassy: https://greece.mfa.gov.ua/news/shchodo-dozvolu-na-vyizd-do-greckoyi-respubliki

Thanks everyone. The whole day I followed the development of events :))) And yet - YES!
аватар tschingiss
YES!!! It is possible simply on a visa-free basis, but a 72-hour test is needed.
аватар Pachok
I'm for testing :)
But I was also interested in the third point - a certificate that the person was ill and recovered OR a certificate of the presence of antibodies. Is it really "or", or antibodies in addition to certificates of illness.
аватар ollennka
Of course it opened. I'm flying May 17th. If you are interested in receiving a report from the scene, write in a personal message after this date.
аватар ollennka
All references are "either... or". But it was easier for me personally to pass the PCR than to make an appointment with the doctor with a certificate of the transferred covid. During my illness, I sat quietly and did not advertise, so there will be a lot of bureaucracy.
аватар AlexZimin
ollennka where are you flying to? To Crete?
аватар ollennka
AlexZimin, to Athens, and then Mykonos, Santorini, Crete.
аватар AlexZimin
ollenka, cool! Great to relax!
аватар Pachok
So with Russia it was clear. I was interested in Ukraine :) There was a detective story here yesterday, and the journalists, as usual, excelled.
And "or" not in the sense of PCR or a certificate of illness, but a certificate of illness OR a certificate of antibodies. I was sick for a long time, more than six months ago, and three days ago my antibodies showed 84! Itself in a shock, thought there on zeros all already.
аватар ollennka
If you have a disease, then together with a certificate, an antibody test.
With Russia, it was also not very clear in fact. Formally, the quarantine was a week, no one really followed, but still unpleasant.
аватар tschingiss
Pachok - entry into Greece is allowed ONLY with a negative test or with a certificate of full (2 times) vaccination. Upon arrival, some tourists can additionally be tested for free.

"Provision of a certificate of completion of vaccination made not earlier than 14 days before the date of entry or
- negative result of the PCR test on SARS-CoV-2 with translation into English, which was made not earlier than 72 hours (counting from the time of taking the fence to the arrival at the checkpoint in Greece);
or
- certificate of coronavirus disease and recovery or certificate of antibodies after coronavirus disease with English translation (validity of certificates: from 2 to 9 months from the date of issue).
This is from the website of the Embassy of Ukraine in Greece. And where do you get the information from?
аватар Pachok
ollennka
Still, do you think that you need two references together? I doubt.
Literally we have this:
"certificate of coronavirus disease and recovery OR certificate of antibodies after coronavirus disease ",
what means
"certificate of coronavirus disease and recovery OR certificate of antibodies after coronavirus disease ".
Clumsily formulated, of course. Either the same thing is done twice in different words, or the first test is suitable without an antibody test, and the second is just a test.
In short, you are right, it is easier to go for PCR.
аватар tschingiss
Yes, there is no need to prove anything to anyone, to complicate the procedure for crossing the border with additional "papers" that everything is fine: there is one, the other and the third. The TEST is the simplest and most understandable document that has POWER everywhere.
аватар Vika284
tschingiss what does it mean to prove?! There is official information
Go to the website of the Embassy of Ukraine in Greece that you can choose to enter:
- full vaccination certificate
Or!
- PCR test
Or!
- information about antibodies
аватар ollennka
Why do you read the websites of embassies, travel agencies, etc.? You need to read the Greek source. https://travel.gov.gr/#/ (hope admins don't cost the link)
The point about the transferred disease is worded there very vaguely:
- a certificate of recovery from covid in the last 9 months, issued by an authorized state body or laboratory.
I don’t know about you, but in Russia no government agency issues a certificate of the transferred covid, and the laboratory can simply confirm the presence of antibodies, but without the timing of the disease. So if I went down this path, I would have to provide an antibody test (so that it was from the laboratory), and a certificate from the doctor stating that the antibodies were earned in the last 9 months, and not earlier.
By the way, on the same site there is infa that the fact of the transferred covid can be confirmed in another way - POSITIVE PCR, made no earlier than 9 months and no later than two months before the trip. I don’t have such paper either, because during the period of the disease, PCR was "-".

Pachok and ollennka, I am also enlightened in this topic. I also read the information on the website of the Consulate of Ukraine in Greece.
But after Turkey, how dumb it is to change something. Greece for me personally, "like a clean slate." Maybe you can advise (in a personal, so as not to load people with unnecessary information!) hotels for families with children: with a good entry into the sea, with a sandy beach, on all or three meals a day, with the possibility of diet food, hv-1 (so as not to hit large buildings), preferably not very far from the airport. Thank you very much! Have a great trip and look forward to your feedback about Greece.

Veronika7081 you know very well the hotels of Crete and Rhodes for families with children

Vika284, not like the Turkish ones in the era of "quarantine restrictions". That's why I'm asking real people who will have a rest in the 2021 season.
аватар Veronika7081
Vika284, and for your ability to work, of course, a special thanks. :) If there is something on the topic on my question, answer on Greek hotels in 2021 in a pandemic, and I invite you in a personal.

For 2021, I think no one has any information yet. According to your requests, I don’t know the hotel, more precisely, I know purely theoretically that the entire Bomo chain is tailored for family holidays and has good reviews, sells Mouzenidis. And that you can safely go to any of the Grecotels and Aldemar, choosing only by price and location.
We ourselves were several years ago in Porto Carras Sithonia, a review in my profile, then there were conflicting feelings, now I would go to it without hesitation. Doesn't meet your requirement for a large building and proximity to the airport.
аватар Veronika7081
Pack, thank you so much for your reply!

It seems that Greece is open, but there is not a single flight from Kyiv until June. In addition, operators are transferring applications from the beginning of June to the end of June. Maybe the operators know something unofficial?

Veronika7081, sorry, I'm flying to Greece for the first time, I can't advise anything yet.
