How long is the wait at the Greek border - live

The question everyone heading south asks every summer: how long is the border wait? The answer is not a single number - it shifts by the hour. At the Bogorodica crossing this evening the wait was about 10 minutes into Greece and 15 heading home. In the morning, the same border demanded up to three times as much.

Why the queue spikes and drops in a single day

The peaks are no accident. When everyone sets off in the morning for the beaches, the column into Greece grows. In the afternoon and evening, as people head back home, the flow reverses. So the number you saw last night means nothing for tomorrow morning - the border has to be checked right before you get in the car.

Live cameras and a clock at the border

On metla.mk we have gathered the border cameras from Bogorodica, Medzitlija and Dojran in one place, alongside a wait clock fed by the border cameras and BorderAlarm. You watch the situation live and decide when to leave - no surprises at the barrier itself.
