With countries around Europe reducing coronavirus restrictions, opening borders and creating new ways to ensure safe travel for visitors, some of them have managed to be ranked as the safest places in the entire Europe.
These destinations benefit from vicinity to hospitals and have a higher number of hospital beds per inhabitant than the majority of European countries.
They have implemented very specific protocols concerning hygiene in accommodations, restaurants and shops, and imposed measures such as the changing of air conditioning filters between each traveller stay, availability of masks and social distancing.
Before travelling to any of the beautiful safest places that made it to the list:
- Remain vigilant and do not forget the barrier gestures, social distancing, wearing masks when possible and necessary.
- Avoid travelling if your health is poor.
- People over 70, those overweight or who have respiratory problems should be particularly vigilant.
- It is travellers’ responsibility to protect their most fragile loved ones and residents of host countries.
1. Tbilisi, Georgia:
Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia, one of the world’s least affected by coronavirus countries. Georgia reacted very quickly with measures that kept the epidemic at a remarkably low level.
The country is reopening its borders on July 1 and implementing health measures to protect travellers and its citizens for a safe and relaxing holiday which makes this one amongst the top safest places to visit.
Tbilisi is an open-minded destination, blending past, present and future, culture and leisure. More trendy than ever, the city is an ideal destination for culture, gastronomy, diversity and architecture. “Wow” effect is guaranteed.
2. Corfu, Greece:
This paradisiacal Greek island is a perfect destination to recharge your batteries after this stressful period. Corfu is the second of the safest places you might want to visit.
Greece is one of the European countries least affected by coronavirus (up to 50 times fewer people infected than in the most affected European countries). The Greek healthcare system has never been overloaded during this health crisis.
Moreover, the country has more hospital beds per capita than many European countries. Corfu combines relaxation, sun and nature.
