Always check with your airline first regarding your return flight. Each country has its own regulations regarding travelers coming from abroad.
Before leaving Greece, it is customary to present a negative PCR test or a rapid Antigent test (administered at a pharmacy or health center) – up to 24 hours before departure. It is strongly advised that you check with your airline.
Always check the regulations of the country of arrival (including transit country regulations, if any).
For example, as per US government requirements, U.S. citizens traveling to the U.S. by land or sea aren’t required to get tested for COVID-19 or show their vaccination status before entering the U.S.

It is important to check with your airline as well as your country (as well as transit countries).
Restrictions change very often.
