That’s right, the stunning European country - known for its stunning islands, ancient temples and delicious food - will allow visitors from 29 countries including New Zealand, Australia from June 15.

Other countries that will soon be allowed to visit the stunning location Albania, Austria, Northern Macedonia, Bulgaria, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Estonia, Japan, Israel, China, Croatia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Malta, Montenegro, Oman, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic and Finland.
