GreecevsTurkiye

Greece and Turkiye face each other across the Aegean with shared seaside appeal and different institutional realities. Greece is EU and Schengen-adjacent in ways that matter for European travel habits. Turkiye offers larger metro energy and, for hard-currency earners, periods of strong local purchasing power.

Earthquake awareness belongs on both checklists in parts of the region. Visa and residence rules are not mirror images.
