Greece is targetting its main tourist islands with its vaccine programme because tourism is such a massive component of its economy.
And because they're islands it's much easier for them to control the spread.
Airports and ferry terminals are much easier to control arrivals with testing than say the Peleponnese.
Yes. I understand Greece is targeting vaccines at the smallest islands first and then larger tourist island destinations such as Mykonos, Corfu, Santorini, etc.
Most British & other tourists visit the islands rather than the mainland.
But rising case numbers are in Attica, which includes Athens.
Given vaccine supply constraints, only time will tell whether this is a smart strategy and whether it will be a pill easily swallowed by Grecians in hardest hit regions.
