Greece's 'Door Visa' Eases Turkish Access to EU Islands, Boosts Tourism

Greece's 'Door Visa' Eases Turkish Access to EU Islands, Boosts Tourism

Greece has implemented a 'door visa' scheme allowing Turkish citizens to visit 12 Greek islands without a full Schengen visa. This initiative, introduced in April 2024 and expanded last year, permits Turkish visitors to stay for up to seven days on islands like Chios, Rhodes, and Samos. The scheme addresses the growing demand for EU travel among Turks, who face long waits and high costs for Schengen visas. The program has significantly boosted tourism, with nearly 1.5 million Turks visiting Greece in 2025. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis praised the scheme's success during a visit to Ankara, highlighting its role in strengthening ties between the two countries.
