How can I earn Greek citizenship if my mother was not born in Greece but became a citizen after I turned 18?

My great grandfather was born in Greece, he emigrated and married a non-Greek. He had a child, my grandmother. My grandmother was not born in Greece, she did not marry a Greek. My grandmother claimed Greek citizenship from her father. My grandmother had a child, my mother. My mother was not born in Greece, she did not marry a Greek. My mother claimed Greek citizenship after I turned 18. I'm not sure if her claim is via her mother or her grandfather who was born in Greece. Given the above history, what can I do to claim Greek citizenship? I don't speak Greek.

You could claim Greek citizenship via your mother's blood root (jus sanguinis).

According to the Greek citizenship law, people who have an ancestor, who was a Greek citizen (designation/assertion of citizenship) are eligible for the Greek citizenship under specific process and submitted documents, that prove the respective relationship. It is advisable to address your case to a legal or consultancy firm dedicated for citizenship issues.
