Current Travel Situation
Nepal to Greece: What You Need to Know
Greece, with its ancient history, islands, and Mediterranean climate, is an appealing destination for Nepali travelers. The Greek islands, Athens, and Thessaloniki are popular. Greece is a Schengen member; the Greek Embassy in New Delhi covers Nepal, though some applications may be possible through other Schengen embassies in Kathmandu. Greece is also known as an entry point into Europe, though legal immigration channels must be used.
Practical Tips
Greek island hopping is best done between May and October. Athens requires at least 3 days to explore the main archaeological sites. Confirm which embassy in Kathmandu or New Delhi handles Greek Schengen applications before booking travel.
