How to Reach Greece and Turkey from India

Most travellers from India reach Greece and Turkey by international flight. Athens and Istanbul are the main entry points for many itineraries, depending on the selected route.

Travellers booking a Turkey tour package can choose Istanbul as an entry point, with onward connections to other Turkish destinations or Greece depending on the itinerary.

Selected packages arrange airport transfers and intercity transportation, while international flights may be excluded unless specifically mentioned.

Best Time to Visit Greece and Turkey

The best time for a Greece and Turkey trip depends on the destinations and experiences you want to include.

• April to June and September to October: These months are generally suitable for sightseeing, city exploration, and outdoor experiences, with more comfortable conditions than peak summer. Travellers booking a Greece tour package during the shoulder seasons can enjoy sightseeing and outdoor experiences with comparatively fewer crowds.
• July and August: These months are popular for Greece’s islands and beach holidays, but they can be busier and warmer, particularly in destinations such as Santorini, Mykonos and coastal Turkey.
• November to March: This period is quieter and can work well for travellers primarily interested in cultural sightseeing and city experiences. However, some island and seasonal activities may operate on reduced schedules.

For a multi-destination holiday, checking the weather in both countries is important because conditions can vary considerably between coastal destinations, islands and inland areas such as Cappadocia.

Documents and Visa Requirements for Greece and Turkey

For Indian travellers booking Greece and Turkey tour packages, visa planning should be done before finalising the trip itinerary, as Greece and Turkey follow separate visa processes. Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa for Greece. For the Greece application, travellers should keep a valid passport, completed application form, recent photographs, travel medical insurance, return or onward flight details, hotel bookings and financial documents ready. You can submit the Greek visa application up to six months before travel, but processing can take longer if additional checks are required.

Turkey has a separate entry process. Indian passport holders are listed as eligible for the Turkish e-Visa subject to the applicable conditions, and visa on arrival is not available for Indian citizens. Travellers should check their eligibility on the official Turkish e-Visa portal before applying, and each traveller, including children, requires a separate e-Visa.

Selected Thrillophilia packages provide visa guidance and documentation support. Visa fees and government charges are separate unless specifically mentioned in the package inclusions.
