Traffic is normal at the Kulata-Promachonas border checkpoint with Greece even though it is the only crossing for tourists into Greece.

The people crossing over into Greece are mostly Bulgarian and Romanian citizens and the wait at the crossing is only 2-3 minutes. There is an enhanced presence of Greek health authorities who select whom to test for Covid-19. All other checkpoints on the border with Greece are closed to tourists.
