All other incoming travelers to Greece who do not have an EUDCC (including children over 5 years old) and regardless of their vaccination status for Covid must have a negative PCR (performed within 72 hours prior to travel) or a rapid test result ( carried out within 24 hours before the trip) upon arrival.

Travelers from USA, Canada and Australia
Vaccinated travelers entering Greece from the United States, Canada and Australia are exempt from additional restrictions upon arrival if they have one of the following:
1) a vaccination certificate valid for nine months from the full vaccination for Covid-19 and without a validity limit for travelers receiving the booster dose; or
2) a certificate of recovery valid for 180 days after the date of issue or
3) negative PCR performed within 72 hours before the trip or negative rapid test performed within 24 hours before the trip.

Random rapid test on arrival
Every traveler arriving in Greece, regardless of whether they hold an EU Covid Digital Certificate, can undergo a random fast COVID-19 test at the airport (depending on the data provided in the PLF forms and based on the 'EVA' System ). If a passenger is selected for a rapid examination and is positive for the coronavirus, then he must be quarantined for a total of five days at home or in a temporary facility, as indicated by the Greek authorities. The isolation period starts the next day, after being tested positive for Covid-19. The mandatory quarantine may end after five days if the passengers have no symptoms or their symptoms have subsided (no fever in the last 24 hours without the use of antipyretics). Self-isolation is prolonged if the fever persists until it subsides. These passengers should only wear a highly filtered respirator mask (FFP2 or N95) or a double mask (surgical and fabric) for at least another five days after the end of the self-isolation period.

The use of a mask is mandatory
At arrivals and departures within airports and ports, staff and passengers are required to wear a face mask at all times. Passengers are also required to comply with the instructions of the staff responsible for supervising, crowd management and passenger assistance in order to maintain the necessary distances and ensure safe boarding.
