Quarantine-Free Countries for UK Travellers for Late Summer Sun

As summer approaches its end, there is still time to catch some sun in September and early October, but where will you go? Before the new travel lists are announced on the 16th of September, make sure to visit a destination on our list below.

Here are the quarantine-free countries for UK travellers for the late summer sun!

Gibraltar (Green list)

Gibraltar is an overseas British territory that’s a safe bet; in terms of both Covid-19 and summer sun. It experiences summer weather until mid-October, and it is a country worth-seeing. Even if you’re not yet fully vaccinated, you can enter Gibraltar with a negative PCR test and you won’t have to self-isolate when you return to England.

Fly to Gibraltar from £20.

Romania (Green list)

Romania is full of natural beauty spots waiting to be discovered, including its white sanded beaches on the Black Sea coast. You need to provide a negative PCR test to enter Romania and you won’t have to self-isolate upon your return either even if you’re not double vaccinated, since it’s on the green list. You can visit summer destinations like Constanta, Mamaia or Vama Veche.

Fly to Romania from £100.

Dubrovnik

Croatia (Green watchlist)

Croatia has been 2021’s most popular summer destination as it’s consistently been on the green list or green watchlist since June. You don’t need to be fully vaccinated to enter Croatia, and you are exempt from quarantine as long as you show a negative PCR test. Croatia is not only a summer destination, but home to incredible historical sites and natural beauties. Those who love Italy should definitely give Croatia a go. Plus, there are much less tourists in Croatia around September and October.

Fly to Croatia from £170.

Turkey (Amber list)

Turkey is finally on the amber list and allowing UK holidaymakers to enter the country. All arrivals must complete an online form within 72 hours of travel, unless passengers are only transiting from Turkey. Passengers are also required to show proof of either two Covid vaccinations or recent Covid recovery or a negative PCR test (within 72 hours of arrival).

Fly to Turkey from £145.

Cyprus (Amber list)

If you are double vaccinated, Cyprus will happily welcome you. UK travellers can fly to South Cyprus as transiting from a red list country (in this case, Turkey) would mean you would have to follow red list rules upon your return. Cyprus is warm and sunny until the end of October, even early November.

Fly to Cyprus from £180.

Santorini

Greece (Amber list)

Everyone knows and loves Greece as the ultimate romantic and beautiful summer destination, and it’s sunny throughout September and October too. If you are not fully vaccinated, you will have to self-isolate for 10 days upon your return to the UK, but those who are fully vaccinated will be happy to know they can visit Greece as normal.

Fly to Greece from £230.

Morocco (Amber list)

Morocco is super hot during the summer months so you should always aim to go to Morocco in autumn. The average temperature in Morocco in September and October is around 28 degrees celsius. Those after a beach holiday can go to Agadir, Essaouira or Oualidia.

If you are not fully vaccinated, you will have to self-isolate for 10 days upon your return to the UK, but those who are fully vaccinated will be happy to know they can visit Morocco as normal.

Fly to Morocco from £170.

France (Amber list)

You can visit France with a negative PCR test but will face 10 days of self-isolation when you get back to England. If you’re double-vaccinated, it means you have a quarantine-free return ticket to France. You can still catch some sun and go to the beach in the South of France in September, visit; Nice, Marseille, Provence, Cannes, Antibes, Monaco.

Fly to France from £150.

Spain (Amber list)

You can visit Spain with a negative PCR test but will face 10 days of self-isolation upon your return. If you’re double-vaccinated, like France, you’ve got a quarantine-free return ticket to Spain. Visit the Canary Islands for great weather and some more time on the beach.

Fly to Spain from £130.

Algarve

Portugal (Amber list)

September is the most amazing month to visit Portugal, but to visit the sun country quarantine-free, you have to be double vaccinated. Madeira and The Azores are currently on the green watchlist and green list respectively. They are both amazing destinations to catch the last bits of the summer sun.

Fly to Portugal from £220.

Malta (Amber list)

Malta is currently on the amber list and is only accepting double vaccinated UK travellers. September and October are both great months to visit Malta. The summer heat is still around, yet the tourist crowd disperses. A 5-day holiday in Malta is more than enough to get to know your surroundings, as well as spend some time relaxing.

Fly to Malta from £175.
