THIS WEEK IN GREECE
Rating on Control Room Index (comparative cost data for production in Greece)
Number of people allowed on set – 10 people per 100m square
Travel restrictions – international flights open up to Athens today
Greece is starting to open up for shooting. They are entering phase 1 from 1st to 15th with international flights coming into Athens only. Visitors are tested on arrival with results within 24 hours. No quarantine unless positive. Phase 2 rolls out from 15th (includes Thessaloniki). The government has imposed basic rules on production shooting but the production union has put in extra precautions to encourage new clients. Greece is not always a common choice for production location and should be put on the map…the size of the country is quite small so easily navigated, with its varied landscape, dramatic coastline, fantastic weather and strong talent pool.
