At present the main airlines are offering over 1000 direct flights to Kefalonia for Summer 2021.

Clearly we don’t know how the season will eventually turn out primarily regarding impact from covid restrictions, here on the island the cases figures are very low at present,  primarily because we have been in lockdown since 7 November which will not be reviewed until 7th January 2021.

In Greece the vaccination program has just started with the majority of the population scheduled for vaccination by mid to late Summer, the most vulnerable will have been done before the tourist season commences. There will clearly be an update from Greece and UK regarding any covid related travel requirements before the first flights are due at the end of March.

Brexit changes are already clear, ensure you have 6 months validity on your passport, UK driving licence are OK for hiring cars, EHIC can still be used but additional health insurance is strongly recommended.

You will not need a visa for entry in 2021 but there will be changes to duty free arrangements.

Easyjet are starting flights late March & April with the main tourism season commences in the first week of May when all the other airlines commence direct flights to the island.

Most airlines are offering flexibility to transfer dates for free at present giving you piece of mind when booking. British Airways will start there scheduled flights (Saturdays) direct to Kefalonia from London Heathrow on 29th May and there last flight at the moment is 25th September.

JET2 is launching new flights to Greece next year, in time for summer 2021 holidays.

Even better, you can book them now to get in a summer holiday to look forward to.

The new routes will operate from Newcastle Airport and East Midlands Airport from May 2021.

Kefalonia and Skiathos will fly from Newcastle, while Skiathos will also have flights to and from East Midlands Airport.

The new routes add an additional 300,000 seats to Jet2’s schedule next year.

The new routes also take Jet2 Greek destinations to 14, with Corfu, Kos, Zante and Crete just some of the options for a summer holiday next year.

The new flights will operate as following:

Newcastle Airport

• Skiathos – weekly Friday services operating from May 21 through to October 8
• Kefalonia – weekly Friday services operating from July 23 through to October 8
• Santorini – weekly Monday services operating from July 26 through to November 1

East Midlands Airport

• Skiathos – weekly Sunday services operating from May 23 through to October 10

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said the new flights were added due to the demand to Greece for summer 2021.

Flights abroad can have a lower risk of covid than shopping or eating out!

Flying abroad at the moment is a scary prospect, even for the most seasoned travellers. Hours in an aircraft flying across countries and oceans can be unappealing for some, especially with concerns now regarding hygiene. However, a recent study may put fliers at ease after it revealed that flying actually presents a relatively low risk of catching coronavirus.

A new study from Harvard University found that air travel actually poses a lower risk of catching COVID-19 than shopping because the air in the aircraft goes through high-quality air filters which removes 99% of virus droplets.  Because of the “downward direction” of airflow passengers are unlikely to infect other people.

The study also suggests that masks are also a critical part of passengers remaining safe, along with disinfection and self-screening for coronavirus symptoms. A study said that just 44 coronavirus cases had been traced back to flights since the start of 2020 out of 1.2 billion travellers. Of those cases, most of them were reported before face masks were mandatory.

Therefore the risk of contracting the virus on board appears to be in the same level as being struck by lightning!

With many airlines offering flexibility as standard when it comes to cancelling or re-arranging your flight, now is a good time to book flights for your 2021 summer holiday.

The information and figures have been found from various sources. Vigla Natura is not responsible for the accuracy of the information.

I am an owner of a small naturist resort in Greece, My wife and I have been running the resort now for nearly 15 years and one thing we hear from people in conversation, from reading blogs and magazine articles is the need to encourage more people to try naturism.

Now don’t get me wrong the more people who try naturism, the more potential new customers for our resort, so my business head says that all the work the federation’s and it’s members along with the magazine editors do to promote naturism is well worth it and is just what we need to improve the naturist movement.

Now myself I don’t necessarily agree with this idea. It is a selfish reason and that’s the people. I am a lover of peaceful and tranquil environments where I can relax read my book and enjoy the natural sounds of my surroundings. Naturism is quoted to be “a way of life in harmony with nature” 

So where am I going with this, well many people together in my opinion do not create this quiet and relaxing environment, my personal choice is to visit beaches to enjoy my naturist time. I love the beach and I can think of nothing better than finding a small sandy bay to myself and stripping off and spending the day reading, swimming and enjoying the warm sun.

I am very lucky I spend my summers on a small Greek island which is surrounded by beaches, bays, coves and crystal clear turquoise warm water. My local naturist beach is only 10 minutes away from where I live and is at the far end of a busy beach full of tourists and locals. 

Its a beautiful beach and on many occasions I enjoy the beach bar and tavernas that are situated there, but do I want to join the hundreds of people laying on sun-loungers with music coming from the beach bar for the day in my swim suit? NO WAY!

So I walk the 5 minutes that’s needed along the beach and I find this – an empty beach with a few fellow naturists quietly enjoying the beach. So if we encourage more people to become naturists won’t our secluded beaches soon become covered in sun-chairs, have music blaring out from a beach bar and hundreds of noisy naked people?

I think naturism is best kept to ourselves!    

It’s with a heavy heart that we have decided not to open Vassaliki for summer 2020.

We have had many sleepless nights and long conversations over the last few weeks trying to find a way to open up this summer but we have now come to the conclusion that it is not going to be possible.

With the continuing issues the travel trade is experiencing worldwide with the Covid 19 virus and advice from all European governments against non-essential travel, we feel it is not an appropriate time to try and encourage people to take unnecessary trips abroad. People are obviously concerned about travelling and the occupancy of our resort this summer has now dropped below a feasible level to warrant opening.

Airlines are struggling to reopen their schedules with many airlines now offering a reduced service to Kefalonia with some airlines cancelling flights now until August. This issue creates further uncertainty for both us and our guests.

Greece in the last week has taken some extreme lockdown and quarantine measures to combat the virus entering the country, this may continue throughout the summer.  We are aware that many of our guests are concerned that travel insurance will not cover any disruptions caused to holidays as a result of the virus.

Our goal is to make sure Vassaliki can continue to offer our guests amazing holidays for many more years to come. With the new restrictions and regulations in place, this would mean we would only be able to offer a limited service, making it nearly impossible to keep the social atmosphere many of our guest come for.  

We also have to make sure we keep all our staff, suppliers and guests safe and we feel to open the resort would contradict all these elements of our goal.

All guests with bookings with us for 2020 now have the following options:

1 – Change you booking with us to a future year and we will move your deposit onto your new booking. Contact your flight company to discuss moving your flight (some airlines are being very good and are happy to move bookings free of charge at the moment.)

2 – Continue with your planned flight and find alternative accommodation. We are happy to recommend some hotels that may suit your requirements.

We understand things will hopefully get better over the next few months and lockdown will be something in the past. With the governments trying to find the safest and best way to remove lockdown, circumstances will change day by day.

We are so sorry for all the disruptions this will cause, this decision was not taken lightly.

All the team are behind us and motivated to ensure 2021 will be the best summer Vassaliki has ever seen, so we hope you can all join us.
