Has Greece ordered self-quarantine to travelers abroad?

I plan to travel to Greece next month and am wondering if I need to stay self-quarantined for several days when I arrive. I heard many countries have similar orders.

    Currently, Greece obliges the travelers from abroad to self-quarantine of at least seven days but cannot predict what measures will exist on July.

    Tourists who start from airports that are marked on the EASA list will undergo a mandatory test and stay for one day in a predetermined hotel.  In the event that the test is negative, visitors to this category will be required to stay in quarantine for 7 days. However, if the sample is positive, they will be quarantined for 14 days and their health will be monitored. Visitors from airports that EASA considers to be completely safe will be sampled.

    All visitors are tested upon arrival and are required to stay overnight at a designated hotel. If the test is negative, then the passenger self quarantines for seven days. If the test is positive, the passenger is quarantined under supervision for 14 days. From June 15 to June 30, if one travels from an airport not in the EASA affected area list (https://www.easa.europa.eu/sd-2020-01/airports) then one is only subject to random tests upon arrival. If one travels from an airport on the EASA affected area list, then he or she will be tested upon arrival. An overnight stay at a designated hotel is required. If the test is negative then the passenger self quarantines for seven days. If the test is positive, the passenger is quarantined under supervision for 14 days.

    It depends on the origin country. For the time being, there is quarantine either in a hotel or at home for 15 days. It will change from July 1, 2020, but we still do not know how it will work.

    Until 15 June, it is provided that all visitors are tested upon arrival and are required to stay overnight at a designated hotel. If the test is negative, then the passenger self quarantines for seven days. If the test is positive, the passenger is quarantined under supervision for 14 days. From June 15 to June 30, a visitor who travels from a country not in the EASA affected area list may be subject to random tests upon arrival. If the test is negative then the passenger self quarantines for seven days. If the test is positive, the passenger is quarantined under supervision for 14 days.

    It depends on which country you are coming to Greece. According to the current policy, if you come from a country that isn't considered "dangerous", you do the coronavirus test and you stay one day in a hotel till you get the result. If the test is positive, you can stay 14 days in quarantine, if it is negative, you don't need to stay in quarantine. If you come from a country that is considered "dangerous," you do the coronavirus test and you stay seven days in a hotel even if the result is negative. If the test result is positive, you stay 14 days in quarantine.
