Holiday hotspots favoured by British sun worshippers have different and sometimes complicated rules for their visitors.
Last night the government announced changes to the travel traffic light system, adding seven more countries to the green list and one to the red.
The biggest holiday draws for people heading from the UK - such as Spain, Italy and Greece - remained on the amber list.
That means a period of isolation in a quarantine hotel, which now cost £2,285 for ten days after a 30% price hike, can be avoided.
Below is a list of countries favoured by globe trotting Brits along with their entry requirements and domestic coronavirus rules.

Spain
After days of speculation that Spain would either be added to the red list or to a newly formed amber-watchlist - which never materialised - it remains amber.
That means that Brits can return from the country and avoid any isolation, so long as they're double jabbed.
Fortunately for those looking for a bit of late summer sun, Spain has relatively relaxed entry requirements.
It allows all Brits in that have either had two vaccines or can show a negative coronavirus test result.
It should be noted that yesterday the UK government urge travellers to take a PCR test before they fly home from the country.
Spain's domestic rules vary from region to region and are worth checking out before travel, as some areas have curfews and restrictions on venue capacity.
Masks are still required in all indoor public and closed spaces, which includes shops, cinemas, theatres, libraries and museums after the outdoor mandate was lifted earlier in the summer.
France
France was in a list all of its own until last night, when the country was moved from amber-plus to amber, in recognition of its falling beta-variant case numbers.
That means travel back from the Gallic country is relatively straightforward for Brits, particularly if they're vaccinated.
Heading to France is a little more complex.
Travellers who are not fully vaccinated will need to self-isolate for 7 days after arrival, then take another PCR test following this period of self-isolation.
Those who have had both jabs do not need to isolate.
Since the beginning of August everyone in France has to show proof of a negative test or vaccination to get into bars, trains, cinemas, museums and other public spaces.
Italy
After suffering a difficult and tragic few months at the beginning of the pandemic, Italy is now in a relatively good place.
It is recording around 5,000 cases a day and has fully vaccinated 53% of its population.
In a bid to keep things going in the right direction, Italy has strict rules on people entering from countries with high case and variant counts, such as the UK.
Until 30 August travellers who have been in the UK in the previous 14 days must show a negative test taken in the 48 hours before arrival.
They must also self-isolate for 5 days, at the end of which they must take a test showing their negative before their release.
A mask mandate remains in place in all public areas where social distancing is not possible including when moving around bars.
US
The US remains on the UK's amber list, despite big leaps forward with its vaccination drive and falling case rates across most of the country.
However, that means very little for most people.
Only Brits who have a green card or visa can enter the US at all so long as they've been in the UK for the past 14 days.
Holidays to America appear to be out of reach for most for some time yet.
Greece
The Mediterranean country remains on the UK's amber list, despite some speculation that its rising case rates would see it reclassified as red.
Brits either need to show a negative PCR or lateral flow test to get into the country, or proof that they are double jabbed.
You may be required to carry out a test upon arrival and, if it is positive, isolate.
A mask mandate remains in place in Greece on public transport across the country, which is split into regions with different levels of restrictions.
In the past few weeks the rules have been tightened in areas with rising coronavirus rates, including the Aegean islands, which were marked dark red on the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control’s Covid map.
That means all but essential travel to and from the region is discouraged.
Last month authorities were forced to impose a week-long curfew and music ban on Aegean island Mykonos in a bid to get infections under control.
If you're heading out to Greece, be prepared for the rules to change while you're there.
Portugal
Travellers from the UK must prove they are double jabbed to get into Portugal without having to quarantine for 14 days.
Anyone over 12 must show proof of a negative PCR or antigen test and must complete a passenger locator card.
Travellers aged 12-17 who are travelling with fully vaccinated adults do not need to quarantine, however, they must still provide a negative Covid test result.
Portugal has a social distancing of 2m wherever possible.
Face coverings must be worn in all enclosed spaces and outdoors, especially where it isn’t possible to socially distance.
