Traveling with a group can be challenging at times, doing it unvaccinated is even more of a task in Greece due to their current covid requirements. While Greece is currently allowing unvaccinated visitors with proof of a covid test there is no guarantee of that in the future. They require tests before riding ferries, taking flights and going into restaurants. There are certain restaurants & bars in Mykonos that don’t allow entrance without a proof of vaccination as well. So at this time if you are unvaccinated I would prefer you not sign up for a group trip. That may change in the future but it is simply too complicated to do right now.
Yes currently the USA requires residents to take a covid test before coming home. These are easily available at the Athens airport, they take under an hour for results and can be taken in enough advance of your flight home.
Yes. All trips with Adventuring for Life & Rachel require vaccination. Even if a country doesn’t require it, there are too many regulations to keep up with as the world continues to change so being vaccinated is the only way these group trips can be successful.
