After months of isolation, after a pandemic that is coming to an end, although obviously present, vacations on the picturesque beaches of Greece seem like paradise itself, but here they may not be so dizzying.
Euronews reports that 187 Dutch tourists arrived on the island of Rhodes. In search of the sun, the Dutch aged 18-70 were sent to the five-star Mitsis Grand hotel after being tested and tested negative for Covid. So far, so good.
The duration of their vacation will be 7 days and during this long-awaited week in a sunny place, they can not leave the hotel. Yes, it is forbidden. They can swim in the hotel pool, but they do not have the slightest opportunity to enjoy the waters of the Mediterranean.
Euronews says the hotel quarantine for tourists is being developed as part of a pilot program between the Greek and Dutch governments. A Greek tourism ministry official confirmed to Agence France-Presse that the tourists "will respect the restrictions in force in the country and will stay for a week in a hotel in Rhodes without being allowed out".
The pilot project caused reactions on social networks. Some Greeks compared it to prison. "They are paying to see the walls," someone joked. While others have welcomed it as an idea.
However, at the moment we are talking, the Dutch are enjoying breakfast at the hotel. What are you doing?
