Greece Transit, Airport Exit Visa
I have a Blue Card visa from Germany, which I just got. In my first entry to Germany, I will book a transit plane ticket from my home country to Greece then Berlin.
If I want to leave the airport during the transit time, in Greece, can I do that freely, or I won't? Note that I didn't enter Germany before since the visa got issued.
