Santorini - Random testing for inbound passengers upon arrival at airport

I've been reading that inbound passengers are being pulled aside at the Santorini airport and being randomly tested for covid. True or false and if true, should we carry a covid test on our person as back up?

Whether they are actively doing that, I don't know, but every country has stated that they reserve the right to test whomever they wish on arrival. If they are seeing a rise in cases, then they may be testing.

Not sure if you mean carrying a covid test result with you, or a test kit to perform your own test, but in either case, it really does not matter, they will use their test, and only accept their result.

Last month, I departed from Santorini and didn't hear or see anything like that. It is a very small terminal.

But Greece does say it reserves the right to test people on arrival. Nothing specific about Santorini.
