'I feel safer abroad than in England': What it's really like to go on holiday to Greece and Kos right now
Many Brits have taken the plunge and decided to go on holiday abroad since the government relaxed its blanket travel ban amid coronavirus.
One woman from Bolton flew out to the Greek island of Kos last week with her daughter, and says she feels safer there than being back home in England due to the strict measures in place.
Speaking from her hotel room as respite from the scorching 36-degree heat, Gail Hadfield Grainger told the M.E.N: “I feel so much safer over here. I know where I stand; I feel comfortable that the locals have got everybody’s best interest at heart.
“In the UK you just don't know what’s going on from one day to the next. Here you feel protected and comfortable.”The 37-year-old booked last minute flights with Jet2 and set off from Manchester Airport on July 16 with her 11-year-old daughter, along with her friends and their daughter.

SunBeam Apart Hotel: You can now change your reservation...
 |
| Kardamena harbour from SunBeam, May 2020 |
All tourism businesses face major financial problems.
Especially ours, which was hit hard last year by the bankruptcy of Thomas Cook and we lost 50% of our expected revenue.
Despite this, we hosted all our customers without burdening them and provided services knowing that we would not be paid.
We considered it our duty to our dear quests who show us every year their love, with their preference in SunBeam.
 |
| May 2020 |
Reservations for May, June and maybe July, have now been canceled.
For all these reservations you can transfer them in the summer of 2021 or this year when there are flights to Kos.
Unfortunately, the lack of financial capacity does not allow us to repay deposits, but we will replace the Vouchers we have issued with new ones according to the choices of our quests.
Thank you for your understanding. We hope everything returns to normal soon.
Until then, take care, stay safe and be healthy
the SunBeam team...

SunBeam Apart Hotel: Coronavirus, Greece and Croatia acted fast, now need to save summer
But the coronavirus pandemic threatens to ruin the summer season, so vital to the economies of both countries, even though they moved fast to stop the spread. Their proximity to Italy concentrated minds, as Covid-19 started spreading rapidly.
How did they react?
Croatia was on alert soon after news of the Covid-19 epidemic emerged from China.
The Institute of Public Health had published guidelines even before the arrival of a busload of tourists from Wuhan in late January.
Local media raised concerns that Chinese workers constructing the Peljesac Bridge on the Dalmatian coast might have returned from virus-affected areas in China.
In Greece, too, the government moved well before the virus reached its shores, as it saw infections spread in Italy. An ad-hoc scientific committee was set up with top epidemiologists, virologists and infectious disease experts.
Some accused the government in Athens of not just entrusting the handling of the pandemic to scientists, but of handing over responsibility too.
When did lockdown start?
The first confirmed Croatian case came on 25 February, almost a month after Italy and the UK. It involved a man who had been in Milan six days earlier to see the now-notorious Champions League match between Atalanta and Valencia.
The match has been linked to one of Italy's biggest outbreaks - in Bergamo, where Atalanta are based.
The first confirmed case in Greece was recorded a day later than Croatia, on 26 February. And both countries reacted swiftly.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis imposed tighter restrictions over a period of weeks and it was made clear that no exceptions could be made:
- 27 February: carnival festivities are cancelled
- 10 March: schools and universities are closed
- 12 March: Olympic flame is lit in Ancient Olympia with a handful of VIP guests; Greece confirms first Covid-19 death
- 13 March: cafes and restaurants are shut
- 22 March: restrictions on movement imposed

SunBeam Apart Hotel: Hippocrates of Kos – biography
He was born into a family of physicians, the Asklepiades, who were the hereditary physician-priests of the Asklepieion and considered descendants of the god of medicine, Asclepius. The island of Kos itself had a strong medical tradition, with its already famous Asklepieion and its medical school. His father was Heraclides and his mother, Fenareti, who was considered a descendant of the mythical hero Heracles. Hippocrates had two sons, Thessalos and Drakon, who, following family tradition, also became famous physicians, like his son-in-law Polyvos.
Hippocrates was taught medicine by his grandfather and father, in a propitious environment, as he studied within the Asklepieion itslef, which provided him with numerous clinical data for research and practice. Hippocrates also studied philosophy and rhetoric, as was the custom those days.
When Hippocrates became an adult and during a decade he visited various places for research purposes, increasing his knowledge and experience. We don’t know with certainty which places he visited but most historians name Skythia, Delos, Egypt, Libya, Thasos, Thrace, Propontis, Ellispon, Thessaly, Athens and Smyrna.
MEDECINE BEFORE HIPPOCRATES
In Ancient Greece, although the practice of medicine remained religious, empirical medicine developed itself, based on experience and logic, marginalising older superstitious methods. A big breakthrough for the evolution of medicine came from the Pre-Socratic philosophers who claimed that the laws of nature could be applied to men. Those who seem to have influenced Hippocrates more, in this sense, are Heraklitus, Empedocles, Alkmaion and the Pythagorians. The most important medical schools at that time were those of Cyrene, Kroton and Knidos.
HIPPOCRATES’ INNOVATIVE APPROACH
When Hippocrates took over the Medical School of Kos, he expanded the teaching, that was confined until then to the sons of physicians-priests, to all young people who had the necessary academic qualifications. A contract stating the student’s obligations towards the teacher and medecine in general was thus included in the Hippocratic Oath. Amongst his most renowned students were Polyvos, Dexippos, Protagoras the Elder and Synnessis the Cypriot.
He separated scientific truth from superstition that was promoted by physicians-priests and stated that sickness is not god’s punishment. He showed that all illnesses have a human or natural cause and can be studied. He highlighted the importance and influence of the natural environment on corporal and inner health. He also conceptualised the existence of a vital force within the human body, named “Physis”, that allows people to live and constitutes the most important therapeutic factor.
Hippocrates considered each human being as having unique personality and psychosomatic characteristics. He not only examined the organ that was sick but the whole body. He gave attention not only to the illness but also to the patient. He attached a lot of importance to prognosis and to the development of the illness itself in relation with the rest of the body. A crucial aspect of Hippocrates’ medicine was the diet he imposed on his patients, tailored to their needs, composition, age, habits and personality.

SunBeam Apart Hotel: Greece learned from Italy’s and Spain’s mistakes and used rapid response to keep its virus deaths low
 |
| A elderly man pulls his trolley through the Varvakios meat market in Athens on April 14, 2020. |
Here was a country with one of Europe’s oldest populations, a frail health care system and little financial firepower to fight the disease caused by the virus. The recipient of three sovereign bailouts since the 2008 financial crisis, Greece had spent almost all of the past decade mired in deep recession and crushing unemployment.
Yet today, two months after the pandemic hit the continent, Greece, so far, has been spared the disasters that have hit Italy, Spain, Britain and other European countries. As of Tuesday, it had recorded 2,170 COVID-19 cases and 101 deaths. Two countries of comparable size, Belgium and Netherlands, had recorded 4,167 and 2,945 deaths, respectively. Italy continues to have the highest death toll in Europe, with 21,067 fatalities by Tuesday night, followed by Spain (18,056), France (15,729) and Britain (12,107).

SunBeam Apart Hotel: Enjoy Kos Island...
Greece is a country known for building religious monuments in the most extraordinary places. Half the fun is finding them. About 800 feet from the main beach of the town of Kefalos is a small island topped with a petite church. Religious or not, give the swim a go. You’ll pass over thriving sea life and underwater ruins on the way.
