Last year Greece announced some time in the spring that they would admit just about anyone. Then by the end of May or so, the EU decided as a bloc to only allow people from countries with low case rates, which led to them not including the US among those countries.

Greece and EU avoided a showdown because if Greece allowed anybody to enter and then they were able to go to any other EU country, it was going to be a thorny issue.

I think Croatia allowed just about anyone to enter as did possibly Iceland.


Now already these countries are saying they will admit people who can show vaccination documentation or negative recent tests. Maybe EU will make them toe the line again this year. Or maybe countries like Greece, which complied last year, isn't going to go along again.
