British holidaymakers heading to Greece will not have to face any delays at the border, even at the height of summer, the country's tourism minister has told the BBC.
Olga Kefalogianni said the Greek government did not want visitors to be "burdened" by bureaucratic procedures when entering or leaving the country.
She confirmed British visitors will not face biometric checks at the border at any time during the summer season.
The country is making efforts to ensure frontier checks take "less than a couple of minutes", she added.
The EU in April completed the introduction of its controversial new digital border procedure, known as the "entry-exit system", or EES.
