Europe Covid entry requirement with connection flights. Need some clarification.

Flying out this month. Our destination is Santorini but will connect in Frankfort, Germany.
Santorini does not require pre-entry covid test for vaccinated but Germany does. My question is If flying from US, connecting in Frankfort, then to Santorini... Do I still have to meet Germany's entry requirements if I'm only connecting for a couple hrs and not leaving airport?
I've looked but and still am not sure. Just wanted some help and clarification from this board. Thanks.

I have similar situation coming up. I'm connecting through Amsterdam on the way to Sweden.
Apparently, I have to meet the requirements for the Netherlands because I think that is where I'm going to be going through immigration since Netherlands and Sweden are both in Schengen. That is my understanding.
Therefore, unless something changes, I'm going to have to go get a Covid booster.

I hope someone with recent experience can confirm. I thought it was the opposite and I'm trying to book flights today for next month. Now you've got me second guessing things...
ETA: Just found this... "Travellers who are only transferring at an airport in Germany are also required to present proof of their COVID-19 status. This applies both to non-Schengen transit from or to third countries outside the EU and to transit from or to Schengen states."

Yeah, I seen that too. That's what's got me scrambling today. I'm actually leaving next week so I'm going to schedule the test. I flew to Rome a couple of months ago but it was a direct flight and didn't even think about connection requirements this time.

Do you have a digital copy of a previous test? Just change the dates. That’s what we did for a recent trip

Thought about that too but couldn't figure how to pull up the digital pdf copy from CVS Mychart.

I was looking at travel to one of the open countries but everywhere had a layover in a country requiring the booster. It honestly sucked

Email the results to yourself. It should be a pdf and then easy to edit the dates.
If you can’t locate it, You can also purchase a self test and take the results from home. Those work to get back into the US and with that one test, you can keep changing the dates and always have a negative test accessible.

Passport expired? Just scan it, photoshop the dates, and re-print!
Customs agents love falsified documents.

Yes, unfortunately.
A test is easy. You can get one at any Walgreens or CVS.
You can also just buy one over the counter and then do a video call (its an extra charge) on it and that counts as confirmation of negative test.
We brought some with us recently when we went out of country so we could do a test for re-entry.
