Rani 6 | 17 2 Jun 2016 / #1Dear members,I have a Polish passport and i'll be traveling to Brussels and meeting up with my relatives then heading to Polish by car for a nice road trip.My layover options are either in Istanbul or Athens.my question is, if i chose a layover in Istanbul, will i need to get an arrival Visa, go through customs and such...?If i chose a layover to Athens, will my Polish Visa allow me just to transit? will that allow me to get out of the Airport and do a little sight seeing?Most important equation is, will i need to re-check my baggage at the layover airports?Sorry it will be my first traveling experience and i want to check everything beforehand. I'm searching online, but if this thread can get me exact answers that will be great :)Seeing Poland for the first time in July!! Yaaay :D

delphiandomine 86 | 17823 5 Jun 2016 / #3I have a Polish passportThen you can enter both Turkey and Athens visa-free.As for baggage arrangements, ask in the departure airport if your luggage will be checked through to Poland or not.
kpc21 1 | 746 5 Jun 2016 / #4So do you have a Polish visa or a Polish passport (i.e. you are a Polish citizen)?If you have a Polish passport, you don't need any visa for Athens. You can move around the city and outside of it without any problem.I am not sure about a Polish visa, but I think you also don't need anything; from what I know, Polish visa = Schengen visa, and Greece belongs to the Schengen zone.Have a read: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area
