Germany still converting US CDC card to EU Pass?
I'd like to spend 2-3 months in Europe from the United States. Does anyone know if Germany (in Berlin specifically) are still converting US CDC cards into the EU vaccine pass? I'm debating if I should fly into Berlin for a week just to ask a pharmacy to convert my card into a pass, versus flying into Spain or Portugal and starting my Europe trip there.I've heard Spain/Portugal are much more strict about having a Covid Card that can convert into a QR code they can read. I just was hoping to start in Spain and work my way up to Berlin, versus starting there.

Currently in Spain and while everyone is wearing masks indoors I haven't once been asked to prove I am vaccinated not even when I flew in from AMS though Spain did check my PLF. Quite a contrast to Amsterdam where pretty much everything was back to normal.

Czechia was actually the first place to remove all restrictions back in summer 2020 and I've had a blast there for 6 weeks, so let's hope this summer is going to be the same and that this time it stays that way.

Update: Czechia will remove mask mandate on public transportation on Thursday. That means the country will be back to full normal, except for hospitals and social care.

For sure, according to their politicians, they expect almost pre-pandemic levels of tourism, plus they raised prices this year a lot. I wonder if other countries will follow with reintroducing measures come September/October.

I just got an email from DL about my Monday flight JFK-ATH saying I might need a Covid test prior to entry to ATH.
DL's FlyReady does not work for ATH but for my ltrip last week to LHR and FCO I uploaded the 4 Pfizer shots on the CDC card.
My assistant looked at the CDC web which she says insists I must get test the day before travel to Greece.
I already did the dPLF thing but would like to confirm if vaccinated USA citizens must get Covid day before flying to ATH.

But according to this you don't need test: https://travel.gov.gr/#/
Travellers arriving from Australia, Canada and the United States of America are permitted to enter Greece under the condition that they display one of the following:
a) Vaccination certificate (for those who have completed vaccination for COVID-19 at least fourteen (14) days before arrival) valid for 9 months after the completion of the basic vaccination and without time limit for travellers who have received the booster dose. The vaccination certificate must include the full name of the traveller as registered in the passport, the type of vaccine given, the number of doses and inoculation dates, or
b) Proof of recovery from SARS-CoV-2 infection, issued 14 days after the day of the first positive COVID-19 test (PCR or Rapid Antigen test) and valid for 180 days thereafter, or
c) Negative molecular test for COVID-19 (PCR) performed up to 72 hours before the scheduled arrival, or negative Rapid Antigen test performed up to 24 hours before the scheduled arrival.
