So what happens if you step over the border? It must be a temptation for the tourists, right?

Do the Russians chase you when you go back to Finland or what.

The border patrols will attempt to arrest you (even if you jump over the border and immediately come back). About 10 cases every year apparently. Getting caught by the Finns results a hefty fine (or possible up to one year in prison, but I don't imagine they'll give that to a random tourist), getting caught by the Russians is probably a big hassle, but I imagine they'll return you mostly unharmed eventually.

I went to the easternmost point in the EU once, a lake in the middle of nowhere in Ilomantsi, and there was a German camper van guy doing a vlog there

Doesn't France or the Netherlands or someone have a not-colony that's further east?

A Buttery Pastry already answered this, it's Réunion.

I figured it might be New Caledonia, but it turns out that they're not part of the EU. It gets kind of confusing with the statuses of all these leftover colonies.

God drat, I thought it was a place in European France and the joke was that Eastern Europe doesn't count.
It's still not as far east as I'd imagined though.

Greenland, despite being a Danish not-colony is also not part of the EU. And while it is not exactly eastern, it is further east, west, north and south than Iceland, which is impressive.

It loops around forever so I guess Greenwich.
