All travellers need a valid passport. If you live in Turkey, your passport must be valid for 6 months from the date you arrive. If entering at a land border, make sure officials stamp and date your passport at the border crossing. You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen. — Day trips to Greek islands may be affected by the EU's Entry Exit System (EES) if travelling from Turkey.
