Those traveling to Greece from abroad (through airports, maritime ports and land borders), must present a negative COVID-19 test no older than 72 hours, upon arrival. Passengers must also fill in a Passenger Locator Form (PLF) at least a day before arrival, providing information that will include their departure airport, the address where they will be staying and the expected duration of their stay in Greece, among others.
