Travel tips
Travelling to Greece from Mumbai — What to Know
Mumbai travellers should book the nonstop IndiGo flight early, allow a buffer night in Athens before ferries, and apply for a Schengen visa through the Greek consular or VFS process. Carry travel insurance, accommodation proof and sufficient funds for the visa file.
Book the nonstop flight early
IndiGo operates thrice-weekly Mumbai–Athens service launched 23 January 2026; schedules are subject to change. Book early for better fares and to align with ferry or domestic flight connections.
Flights
Buffer night in Athens
After a 7.1-hour flight, stay one night in Athens before an island ferry or domestic flight. This reduces missed-connection risk and lets you adjust to the time difference.
Routing
Schengen visa timing
Apply through the Greek consular/VFS process for your jurisdiction, normally no earlier than six months and at least 15 days before travel. Typical documents include passport, form, photo, insurance, accommodation, itinerary, funds and employment proof.
Documents
Ferry and domestic flight planning
Ferries and high-speed catamarans connect Athens-area ports with the islands; fares commonly about EUR 35–100 depending on route and vessel. Domestic flights save time on longer hops.
Transport
Athens airport transfer
The airport metro to central Athens is approximately EUR 9 one way. Athens also uses suburban rail, buses, taxis and app-based transfers.
Transport
Pack for monasteries and churches
Pack breathable clothing, comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, a light layer for evenings, swimwear, and modest clothing for monasteries and churches.
Packing
Currency and payments
Greece uses the euro (EUR). Cards are widely accepted, while small cash amounts remain useful for local transport and small businesses.
Money
Combine Greece with Italy only if you have time
Combining Greece with Italy is possible but allow at least 10–14 days; use direct or seasonal air links where practical because combining several islands with Italy by ferry is not generally efficient.

Practical
Local transport and transfers can require more planning than expected: travellers recommend island buses or a rental car, while Athens taxi users should insist on the meter. Crowded tourist areas and public transport also require care with phones, wallets and bags.
Travellers commonly wish they had allowed more time for Athens and the islands instead of rushing between them. They also highlight that Santorini involves steep stairs and uneven cobblestones, so comfortable footwear matters.
