Depends.

The first option is naturalization if the non-EU national has no EU ancestry/descent/origin.

- Have a clean criminal record

- Be over 18 years of age

- Be married a minimum of 3 years

- Speak Greek fluently

- Live in Greece for 3-7 years

It takes years for these applications to be examined and processed. You can read all about it here, in which the process is detailed from beginning to end: "Greek citizenship by naturalization"

The second option is to claim citizenship through an ancestor born in an EU country, if applicable.

- Often no language requirement

- Often no fee

- Often no residency requirements, in fact one can apply outside the country at a consulate or embassy

- Doesn't matter who you are married to
