Travel Tips
A Schengen visa SHOULD be issued by the country which is your main travel destination. But it doesn't matter where you enter or leave the Schengen area. In regards of travelling Schengen countries are like one single country. Nobody really cares if you'll spend all your vacation in Greece while your Schengen visa is from Spain, no worries!

You have to enter the Schengen zone from Spain.

However, if your visa was issued by the Spanish embassy specifically for travel to Greece, you can enter the Schengen zone from Greece. In such a case, the Schengen visa sticker will have an endorsement that the visa was issued to you for travel to Greece.

Arriving in Greece without such an endorsement on your visa can cause several problems: You might either get questioned upon arrival in Greece or be denied entry. The final authority to allow you entry into the Schengen zone rests with the immigration officer processing your case, upon arrival.
