Starting 12 October 2025, the European Union will implement the new Entry/Exit System (EES) for nationals of third countries. This automated IT system modernizes and simplifies border controls by registering travelers from outside the EU who visit European territory for short stays of up to 90 days. The EES will be gradually introduced at external borders across EU countries, with full implementation scheduled for 10 April 2026. For more information, please visit the official European Union website.

The airports of Rhodes, Zakynthos, Santorini, Samos, Mytilini, Kefalonia, Mykonos and Corfu island will be temporarily closed during wintertime due to scheduled infrastructure works. Read more here.
