Most, but not all. There are some places that are trying to open for the summer season and actively promote tourism.

And if they are, there are ways to prevent painfull ears.
While I haven't flowin in a mask, I do my shopping in a mask and it's rather uncomfortable after few minutes. I just can't imagine wearing it for a few hours will be better. Different people react differently, I get headache almost instantly and I get dizzy (to the point where I make mistakes when trying to use self-service check-out). I've also heard of people having much bigger medical issues when wearing masks for prolongued times.
There's a reason why evolution gave us nose.
