Greece visa Timeline - VFS Chandigarh

Is anyone else having any success from India to Greece? We are planning to visit Greece (Short term single entry tourist visa) and the status is "Under processing in Consulate" for over a month now.

Visa Applied on : 24-08-2026

Status changed to "Under processing in Consulate" on: 26-08-2026

Travel Dates: 18-10-2026 to 26-10-2026

Mailed the consulate and got this generic response. Barely 2 weeks left for the travel. Should we drop our plan? Is there anyway to get our passports back so that we can at least plan to go somewhere else. It was supposed to be 15 days. Its been 40 days now.

Traveling to Greece in late October. What would I miss out on?

Hi. I and my wife are planning to visit Greece this October (tentative 18th afternoon arrival - 26th afternoon departure). That's the best time we could get leaves together. We plan to visit Athens, Paros, Naxos and Santorini in these days, so like 2 nights in each island. Neither of us have visited Greece before and we are just exploring the logistics now. It feels like we might have to drop Paros or Naxos, but we are getting conflicting information online. We are being suggested to drop Paros as places close down but Paros is more scenic than Naxos.

So, we just want suggestions from native people or frequent travelers to these islands to recommend us the path of least resistance. In which order should we visit these islands to make the most of our trip? And what will we be missing out on by not visiting these places during peak season. And what are the must visit/do stuff around here. Side note: Neither of us are into long treks/hikes and adventure sports. Much more interested in beaches, food, scenic locations for a few pics etc.
