Thanks, COVID 19!!
Our return visit to Greece and the Cyclades was scheduled for June of 2020. Due to the global pandemic, we transferred all our plans to October of 2020 …. Then to October 2021. But while things improved for a few months, it became impossible to visit Greece as their covid numbers increased as summer 2021 concluded.
Instead of scrapping the entire idea of a trip, we canceled multiple Greek plans and turned to another country we love – Italy! The early epicenter of the pandemic took covid measures seriously, and the opportunity to distance in our own house in the hills of Italy proved maybe WE COULD TRAVEL OVERSEAS!!
With negative covid tests, required Italian “passenger locator forms” and our CDC vaccination cards, we will be returning to Italy. This visit will include the hills and coast of Tuscany as well as the “green heart” of Italy, Umbria.
