Description

Border crossing Edirne Turkey and Kastannies Greece. Due to covid restrictions the only border you can use with a car overland traveling from Turkey to Greece (restrictions as on oct 17 th 2021). I expected a major crossing but it turned out to be a pretty small one. Follow signs Yunanistan from Edirne. Formalities both sides pretty relaxed. We had only 5 cars in front of us but it took more than an hour to get out into Greece. The overall paperwork took not more than 10 minutes. Most of the time, you wait. In Greece they checked our vaccination papers and scanned our plf qr. (Remark: I have his spot not exactly located on the border, but on the leading road from Edirne).

Easy border going from Turkey 🇹🇷 to Greece 🇬🇷. Turkey took about 10 mins for both checks. When I got along to Greece the barrier was down n 1 car in front. 20 mins later an officer sauntered out of the building & into the cabin carrying a Latte! 😂 Once he opened the barrier it was very quick, just passport checked. 🛃

Very easy to cross both borders. On the turkish site they build new buildings. I recommend this border.

Tried to cross via bicycle. Turkish customs let me through, but I was stopped and turned around before entering Greece. They told me it was illegal to enter via bicycle and suggested I take a taxi.
