Football stars, actors and influencers along with thousands of ordinary people flew to the tourist hub to spent the holiday period there. The world's most open city during the coronavirus pandemic provided these travelers and revelers with a bolthole where they could enjoy five-star hotels and restaurants, crowded bars, accessible beaches and other social activities banned in their home countries .
