Greece begins lifting lockdown measures ahead of the summer

This Monday Greece lifted restrictions on cafes, restaurants and bars, as the government took yet another step toward easing lockdown measures ahead of the country's international reopening.

Georgia Nakou joins The Greek Current to discuss the government’s decision to lift restrictions this week, expectations as we approach the tourist season, and more.
