Greece is likely to ban Brits when it reopens for tourists due to our poor coronavirus record.
Greek tourism minister Haris Theoharis said that his country would open its doors to overseas holidaymakers from July 1 and that a list of countries whose citizens can go to Greece will be released this month.
But he said that the UK will probably not make the cut.
Mr Theoharis told ITV News that the UK's record on coronavirus is currently not good enough for Britons to be allowed to visit.
“I think that the UK has a big difference in terms of the current medical status of the country with Greece, so I don’t think it’s likely it will be there,” he said.
When figures in the UK improve, Mr Theoharis said Brits would be allowed back in.
The country's tourist season will kick-start again on June 15 with hotels opening.
Greece's main tourist spots will accept international flights from the beginning of July.
The selection will be based on “epidemiological criteria” as determined by Greece’s committee of experts dealing with the pandemic.
The list of countries able to visit Greece is likely to include Germany, Croatia, Bosnia, Albania, Serbia, Romania and other Balkan countries as well as Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Israel and Cyprus.
Greece has been less scarred by the pandemic after the government imposed a lockdown very early on.
