Turkish passport holders need a Schengen visa to enter Greece. Apply at the Greek Embassy in Ankara, the consulate in Istanbul, or through a VFS Global center. The short-stay visa costs EUR 80 (about TRY 2,960) and allows stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period across the Schengen area. Required documents include a completed application form, passport photos, travel insurance covering at least EUR 30,000, proof of accommodation, a return ticket, and bank statements. Passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned departure from the Schengen area. Processing takes 10 to 15 working days.
Greece also issues limited-validity visas for Greek islands near the Turkish coast (Lesbos, Chios, Samos, Rhodes, Kos, and others) directly at the island port of entry for Turkish citizens arriving by ferry from designated Turkish ports. These island visas are valid for the specific island only, cost about EUR 35, and allow stays of up to 7 days. This is a unique arrangement not available to other Schengen visa-requiring nationalities.
