What is a Greece Tourist Visa?
A Greece Tourist Visa is a Schengen Short-Stay Visa (Type C) that allows Indian passport holders to travel to Greece for tourism, holidays, sightseeing, leisure travel, and short-term visits. Since Greece is a member of the Schengen Area, the visa also allows travel to other Schengen countries during its validity, subject to Schengen entry rules.
