Stay safe at Chelidonia 2024

Chelidonia Villas & Suites are open for summer 2024! Our services are up and running, we have done our utmost to ensure a both safe and pleasant stay! Greece and especially the Cyclades are among the safest spots in Europe.
During the draconian lockdown imposed by the Government of Greece we constantly monitored the events related to the spreading of COVID19 worldwide. The result is the StaySafe at Chelidonia program, aiming to surpass the required WHO precautionary measures in:

  • staff anti-virus hygiene special trainings

  • architectonic and procedural security measures

  • personal protective equipment everywhere

  • assigned physician is standby, testing available

Despite of an early outbreak in February the pandemy never really took hold of Greece due to the early and strict lockdown measures. This proved a success story we try to build upon with the StaySafe at Chelidonia program.

The StaySafe at Chelidonia 2024 program in detail

  • Greek hospitality without shaking hands and avoiding close physical contact.

  • Immediate notification of our assigned physician in case of suspicious symptoms. COVID19 tests available.

  • Certified training of our staff in anti-vius hygiene measures

  • Monitoring of third parties entering Chelidonia premises and informing about mandatory social distancing
