Boris Johnson’s Father Jets Despite Travel Restriction

The 79-year-old (left yesterday) arrived in Athens last night to visit his mountain villa. He boasted of his trip in a pair of Instagram posts showing his plane coming in over the Greek capital.

The former Tory MEP (right with Georgia Toffolo) had flown via the Bulgarian capital Sofia because the Greek government has banned direct flights from the UK until mid-July.

Speaking from the balcony of his villa in northern Greece (bottom) last night, Mr Johnson said: ‘I’m in Pelion on essential business trying to COVID-proof my property in view of the upcoming letting season.

I need to set up distancing measures at the property because they’re taking it very seriously here.’ Pictured top inset: Mr. Johnson’s route from London to Athens.
