Welcome Back!
Staying safe at Youphoria villas in summer 2020
The health and wellbeing of all our customers and staff is of the upmost importance to us and remains our highest priority.
Given the heightened importance during these uncertain times we have introduced new processes and procedures to make sure that the Youphoria team has everything they need to keep everyone, including themselves safe.
All staff are being expertly trained in new health and safety processes and specific cleaning protocols introduced in light of the Covid-19 across Greece tailored to be effective specifically as we welcome our guests to enjoy their holidays with us once again.
Our cleaning products and protocols are officially certified and effective against viruses including the application of certified COVID-19 Sterilization and disinfection protocols daily and before every new arrival and check-in at the hotel.
For everyone’s safety we have enhanced the following services:
Cleanliness and enhanced sterilization in high-touch areas including (door handles, sun beds, pool area).
We apply contactless check in via the online form in our website and upon arrival you will be able to receive your sterilized room key which you keep throughout your stay.
In line with covid-19 safety recommendations we will no longer apply automatic daily room cleaning and changing of sheets however, fresh clean towels and linen will be available and house cleaning will be available upon request.
We encourage all villa patio doors to be left open as much as possible for fresh air circulation and ventilation and encourage all to use the provided beach towel when relaxing on our spaced-out luxury sun beds.
Together with your arrival information you will receive by email a contactless check in form and a Greek government disclaimer on Covid 19 which is a mandatory requirement.
Lastly, we are actively monitoring developments on a daily basis and are in regular contact with all relevant authorities in order to always be up to date for any country-specific requirements or changes in legislation that may arise.
Please also note that all passengers are obligated to complete a protocol for arrival in Greece on the following address https://travel.gov.gr/
Beginning July 1, 2020, the Greek government has determined how the country will welcome travelers, carry out the necessary diagnostic screening and keep everyone safe throughout the season.
The Passenger Locator Form (PLF) is a key element in the planning. All visitors are obliged to complete their PLF at least 48 hours before entering the country, providing detailed information on their point of departure, the duration of previous stays in other countries, and the address of their stay while in Greece.
Visitors will then receive a confirmation email upon submission of the PLF.
Anyone travelling will receive the PLF with the QR code one day before their scheduled arrival in Greece and will be notified via email which can then be presented on their mobile phone on arrival at the airport.
