While we were in South Africa in July last year, we discussed with my BFF about a trip to Greece in 2020. So in October I found really good priced tickets for June and booked them with Aegean Air. The plan was to meet Gwen, John and her mom in Athens - hire a mini bus and travel to Delphi, and then over to Lefkada and from Lefkada take a ferry over to Kefalonia.
The whole trip was going to be about 16 days - arriving in Athens on Saturday 13th of June and then leaving on the 29th of June. Hotels, Flights and Car was all booked, Gwen had organized and booked her flights from South Africa, we were all excited about the trip, and then Corona happened 😢 - we all hoped it would be over by April.
However with the situation, it was never going to be that easy! You just have to look at the Statistics from the Spanish flue in 1918.
Anyway Aegean Air sent out an email to say you could re-book your flights for anytime up to the end of March 2021 at no extra charge, but how do we know when the lock down will be over, and of course we have to take school holidays into account???
To try and get hold of the Airline was another nightmare, so eventually I just re-booked for September over the Jewish Holiday period, but trying to find accommodation is a nightmare for then! And going anytime after September to March is not worth it as the weather will be cold, so lets see what happens, but at the moment I guess we won't be travelling anywhere this year.
