This left scores behind who \u201cwatched their plane depart without them\u201d, said The Independent\u2019s travel correspondent Simon Calder.<\/p>\n<p>He also said that Greece would fare better to avoid travel chaos for Brits, especially during peak summer months, when the island&#8217;s airports can sometimes receive as many as 2,000 UK travellers arriving and departing in a single day.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, international arrivals to the Mediterranean country rose by 5.6% year-on-year to 37.98 million visitors. <\/p>\n<p>Tourists from the UK also increased by nearly 8% with 4.89 million visitors, who contributed \u20ac3.74 billion in tourist spending. Olga Kefalogianni, Greece\u2019s Minister for Tourism, dubbed 2025 the \u201cbest year ever&#8221; for the sector.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-article-partage-commentaire u-align-items-center u-display-flex\"><span class=\"c-article-partage-commentaire__links u-align-items-center u-display-flex u-justify-content-center js-c-article-partage-commentaire-share\"><span>Share<\/span><\/span><span>Comments<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"adb-article-you-might-also-like\" class=\"perf-cv-auto c-article-you-might-also-like\">\n<h2 class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__title\">\n        Read more<br \/>\n      <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__container\">\n<article id=\"abe-2886151-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-1 m-modeDesktop-1 m-modeXL-1\" data-nid=\"2886151\" data-cid=\"9721691\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2886151-label-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/72\/16\/91\/480x270_cmsv2_d217ccbf-6483-57ed-8cc8-a6a351de9bdb-9721691.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Here are our predictions for where the glamorous escapades of Emily will unfold next. \" height=\"9\" width=\"16\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"the-media-object__content\">\n                    Destinations<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"the-media-object__title  \">\n<p>    Emily in Paros?

Brits looking for smooth sailing abroad may want to set their sights on the Mediterranean\u2019s Hellenic Republic.Greece will be going against the grain of the biometric registration system by exempting British passport holders travelling to its borders.In a statement on its website, the Embassy of Greece in London said: \u201cWe would like to inform you that within the framework of the implementation of the new Entry\/Exit System (ESS) as of April 10th 2026, British passport holders are excluded from biometric registration at Greek border crossing points.\u201dEuronews has reached out to the Greek Embassy in London for clarification on whether this exemption also applies to other third-country nationals.For Eleni Skarveli, the director of the Greek National Tourism Organisation in the UK, the move aims to ensure a \u201csmoother and more efficient arrival experience in Greece\u201d, The Independent newspaper reported.She also expects the exemption to \u201csignificantly reduce waiting times and ease congestion at airports\u201d.The EES, which is aimed at helping prevent identity theft and other serious crimes, came into full effect on 10 April across 29 European countries.After the official rollout, Milan&#8217;s Linate airport experienced hours-long queues that resulted in just 34 passengers out of 156 boarding a Manchester-bound flight. This left scores behind who \u201cwatched their plane depart without them\u201d, said The Independent\u2019s travel correspondent Simon Calder.He also said that Greece would fare better to avoid travel chaos for Brits, especially during peak summer months, when the island&#8217;s airports can sometimes receive as many as 2,000 UK travellers arriving and departing in a single day.In 2025, international arrivals to the Mediterranean country rose by 5.6% year-on-year to 37.98 million visitors.Tourists from the UK also increased by nearly 8% with 4.89 million visitors, who contributed \u20ac3.74 billion in tourist spending. Olga Kefalogianni, Greece\u2019s Minister for Tourism, dubbed 2025 the \u201cbest year ever&#8221; for the sector.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/travel\/2026\/04\/20\/greece-eases-entryexit-system-ees-border-checks-for-british-travellers&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/72\/84\/98\/1200x675_cmsv2_fd10bb6e-569a-56eb-92e7-ae4c6c2c54a2-9728498.jpg&#8221;] The Cube Fake footage allegedly shows Zelenskyy-Epstein friendship Tech News Can an AI shaman predict your future?
