Telegraph\u2019s digital traveller writer Oliver Smith says Greece will be his first holiday destination after the coronavirus crisis ends. In a piece titled \u201cThe first country I\u2019ll visit after coronavirus? There\u2019s no contest\u201d, Smiths lauds Greece pointing out that what he yearns is the pristine life of the islands.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I want is the island\u2019s pristine life, the wonderful food and accommodation, the quiet beaches, the lush green countryside and the ultimate getaway from the stress of modern life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Among the elements that make Greece an ideal destination, the British journalist writes is traveling by sea.<\/p>\n
According to Smith, the boat trip to a picturesque Greek island contributes to the final ideal result and therefore suggests islands that do not have an air connection.<\/p>\n
Overseas holidays have been forbidden for just over a week, but already it feels like far longer. Perhaps that\u2019s because I haven\u2019t left the UK since August, have been in self-isolation since March 9 \u2013 when I came down with a cold or Covid-19, I\u2019ll probably never know which \u2013 and last week was supposed to be enjoying a short break in sunny Girona.<\/p>\n
The next trip in my diary is at the end of May \u2013 a journey by rail to Switzerland and the Italian Lakes. Given the scale of the crisis in Europe, especially northern Italy, already that is looking highly unlikely. Will foreign holidays be permitted by July? Or August? Your guess is as good as mine. But I\u2019d like to think that by September \u2013 dear God, surely \u2013 we will have been given the green light to venture beyond our shores. If that\u2019s the case, I will have endured a whole year without leaving Britain. And there\u2019ll be one country I\u2019ll want to visit above all others\u2026.<\/p>\n
