I'm referring to when you greet each other.

I would say something like se dieron dos besos - the location of the kisses is understood in most of the contexts -.
I am going to give you something to read:
Es llegar a cualquier sitio y, para saludar, dos besos en la mejilla. Muac, muac. Siempre igual y con el mismo resultado: impactos de mejilla o de labios en la mejilla, restos de saliva o pintalabios que limpiamos más o menos disimuladamente, picos accidentales por no poner primero la mejilla derecha? ¿Y por qué esa costumbre de dar dos besos para saludar? «Es una cuestión cultural»...
"Dos besos, ¿por qué?" by Alba Precedo (La Voz de Galicia - 13/02/2016)
It is not a translation page or a dictionary, it is from a newspaper and it uses this expression, so you would read a little bit of the context that it is used

@c.p. in my area (north of Spain), greeting women involves two kisses on the cheeks, and we most often call it "darse dos besos", instead of the other expressions that use the word "mejilla(s)". It just has evolved that way there, but it seems to have evolved differently in other areas...– wimiCommented Mar 9, 2020 at 9:07
To kiss [someone's] cheek
in Spanish is
besar [a alguien] en la mejilla
Among many other meanings, the pronoun se can be used to express reciprocity, so "to kiss each other's cheek" would be "besarse en la mejilla" (or "besarse el uno al otro en la mejilla", if the shorter version isn't clear enough, although most people can't kiss their own cheeks so there is no ambiguity here).

2Comments aren't for additional questions, but those are "abrazarse" and "a menudo se abrazan", respectively. You could just look it up, though. Commented Mar 6, 2020 at 16:24
The way I would say it simply is Saludar de beso en la mejilla (en el cachete)
