Greek islands including Santorini added back to UK travel corridors

Some Greek islands have been added to the UK's travel corridor.

This means that Brits returning from them after 4am on Saturday 10th October won't need to self-isolate.

So easier holidays to Lesvos, Tinos, Serifos, Santorini and Zakynthos are now on the cards.

No new countries have been added to the quarantine list.

Secretary of State for Transport Grant Shapps announced the news on his Twitter account.

He wrote: "TRAVEL CORRIDOR UPDATE: We are ADDING Lesvos, Tinos, Serifos, Santorini and Zakynthos to the #TravelCorridor list this week. From 4am Saturday 10th Oct, if you arrive from those Greek islands, you will NO LONGER need to self-isolate. We are not REMOVING any countries."

The Department of Transport said that the islands were added to the travel corridors due to "a decrease in confirmed cases of coronavirus".

Travel restrictions change frequently during the pandemic, so you should always check the latest FCDO advice for your destination before planning, booking or going on a trip.
