How does customs work?

Question

I am traveling to Greece next year. I have never flown to Europe so I have never went through customs. Any info will help. Thank you.

Answer 1

There is not much to it.... you get off the plane, find your suitcase, and off you go.  In years past they would often stop you and question you if you have anything to declare, but not anymore.  You just walk through!!

Answer 2

you just walk through the green gate and hope they do not stop you

Answer 3

If you fly from USA expect to be stopped and checked at their discretion. I guess in connecting flights from another European country Greek travelers are allowed to pass through as EU members traveling in EU countries.

Americans though can be stopped and checked at any time
