As vaccination efforts increase across the country and new CDC guidelines clear fully vaccinated travelers for take-off (with some caveats), it feels like everyone is starting to plan getaways for summer and beyond. 

According to our travel experts, the place we are all dreaming about going is the Mediterranean—specifically, Greece, which announced that it will open May 14 to travelers who have been vaccinated or who show proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken within three days of their departure. 

With other traditional summer destinations such as France, Italy and Spain looking likely to remain closed to Americans for at least the next few months, 2021 is poised to be Greece’s moment in the sun—and hotels, travel operators, private jet companies and even cruise lines are responding accordingly.
