Greece has temporarily relaxed border control procedures for British travelers following significant delays caused by the European Union's new Entry/Exit System (EES), a digital border registration scheme being rolled out across Schengen member states. The EES requires non-EU nationals, including Britons post-Brexit, to register biometric data at border points upon each entry and exit. At busy periods, this process has created lengthy queues at airports and ports. In response, Greek authorities have introduced measures to streamline processing and reduce wait times for UK passport holders entering the country. Travelers visiting Crete through Heraklion or Chania airports should allow extra time at border control, particularly during peak summer arrivals. Having all travel documents readily accessible and completing any available pre-registration steps before departure will help speed up the process.
