    Greek citizenship is determined by origin and naturalization, not birth in the country. This means a child born in Greece to two parents of no Greek origin (descent) is not entitled to Greek citizenship, but may apply on his/her 18th birthday

    Yes you sure can. The part about being 18 is because you would be of legal age. That's why it's there. So your allowed to apply at any time. Good Luck.
