Greece
Ancient ruins and Aegean blue — Athens’ Acropolis, Santorini’s caldera and island-hopping across the Cyclades.
Myth, Sea and
Endless Islands
Greece is where Western civilisation began and where the Mediterranean is at its most beautiful. Athens carries the Acropolis and five thousand years of history; then the islands scatter across the Aegean — Santorini's caldera, Mykonos's beaches, Crete's depth — each with whitewashed villages tumbling to a sapphire sea.
For Indian travellers it has become one of the great honeymoon and celebration destinations: Santorini sunsets, island-hopping by fast ferry, and warm, generous hospitality. It pairs beautifully with Italy or a Dubai stopover.

Greece Visa — What You Need to Know
Indian passport holders require a Schengen visa (Type C) to visit Greece, applied for before travel through the Greek mission's authorised visa service, subject to Schengen requirements.
Greece is part of the Schengen Area. Indian travellers apply for a short-stay Schengen visa in advance, typically through VFS Global on behalf of the Greek Embassy/Consulate, with confirmed flights, accommodation, insurance and financial documents.
Reviewed against current Schengen policy. Indian passport holders require a Schengen visa (Type C) applied for in advance; apply where Greece is your main destination.
Visa regulations may change without prior notice. Travellers should verify the latest requirements with the Greek embassy/consulate or the official VFS Global Greece visa service before travel.
Meeting every published requirement does not guarantee that a visa is issued. Each application is assessed on its own merits by the relevant authority, which may request further documents or refuse an application without giving reasons. Live Traveller can prepare and check your documentation, but no agent or operator can promise an outcome — and you should treat anyone who does with caution. Book refundable arrangements until your visa is in hand.
For all Greece journeys we design, we prepare your complete visa documentation package — the forms, the supporting documents, the sequence of submission. Our visa specialists help travellers prepare complete applications with careful document guidance. Final visa decisions always remain with the relevant authorities.

for Greece
Island-light and sun-ready, with a cover-up for monasteries and cool evenings.
Pack island-light with lots of swimwear and comfortable sandals, but keep one cover-up for monasteries and one smart outfit for a caldera-view dinner. Sun protection and ferry motion-sickness tablets are the easy wins.
