The Border Survey, among the most comprehensive ones in the EU, is conducted at the 12 largest airports of the country, which cover around 95% of visitors, at all seaports of entry and at the six main road entry points.
The resulting data are combined with administrative information and regularly cross-checked against respective data from the visitors’ countries of origin, so as to ensure compliance with the standards set for the quality checks carried out by the ECB. The Border Survey is conducted at the time of departure from Greece, when visitors know exactly how much they have spent here.
