Ok I got my schegen from Greece but I am going to enter from Germany & then visit Italy & netherlands but maybe not greece....You think that is ok with the officer at Germany?

WIll he ask for a ticket and wonder how come no greece on the trip? Any inputs appreciated...
 
Nope

Want, it shouldn't be a problem. If you do run into an anal Officer, just tell him that your Greece trip is next month and this one came up but since I already have Schengen Visa, I was told I don't need another one since its not country specific.
Thanks

But PM, the visa was given for Greece trip by the embassy according to the timeframe i wrote. I am going on the same time frame but not to greece since its very expensive....Wouldn't he accuse me of lying on my application? Just thinking out loud...
 
You'll be fine

Want, I'm glad you are being cautious but trust me there is nothing for you to worry about. I know you have a lot of family in Germany, so if asked you can tell them that originally you were going to meet someone, "say your sister ot brother" in Greece but later you decided to meet them in Germany so you can meet other members of your family and it cheper than going to Greece. Also, you have been to Germany a numerous times and feel more comfortable. It will be fine.
Have fun on your trip.

Don't worry.You're ok.It's a shengen visa and you can enter shengen space from any shengen state.I had a shengen visa from Belgium and flew to France.No question and no problem at Roissy Charles Degaulle airport(Paris).

I believe you may run into a problem. Take a look at this. When I applied for a SG visa to go to Finland, I was clearly instructed by the Finnish embassy that I must enter the Shehngen territory through the country that issued my Shehngen visa.

Want, want kind of evidence did you provide to the Greece embassy to get the visa? I thought that you would have had to include some evidence of accomodation arrangements in Greece such as Hotel bookings etc. with your application? I am considering applying through them as well.

This is what you need:
