THERE aren't many countries still open to Brits without travel restrictions or quarantine measures in place.

There are now just 9 countries left which have no quarantine rules, either on arrival or back in the UK for British travellers.

Since July, Spain, France, parts of Portugal and Greece, Croatia, Malta and the Netherlands have all been added to the quarantine list, among others.

Turkey and Poland were added to the quarantine list earlier this month as well.

Some of the Greek islands were removed from the quarantine list last night.
