Greece

Why visit

Greece’s Schengen visa runs through the same consulate network used for other European countries, and seasonal direct flights from Delhi cut out a layover during the April-to-October window that lines up with Indian summer and Diwali holiday breaks. The islands are reached by ferry rather than internal flights, which keeps the trip to a single mode of transport once travellers land in Athens.

• The Acropolis and the Parthenon
• Acropolis Museum
• Oia sunset viewpoint in Santorini
• Little Venice in Mykonos Town
