ETIAS & EES explained for Corfu travellers
If you’re planning a trip to Corfu (or anywhere in Greece), there are important new travel rules coming for UK passport holders.
Two new EU systems are being introduced:
✈️ EES — Entry/Exit System (border checks using biometrics)

Don’t worry — you can still visit Corfu visa-free for holidays. But from 2026, the process will change slightly.
