According to Harpal Singh Kasoor (Historian and Kathavachak), Guru Nanak Dev Ji visited Greece, during their Udasi towards the west.
Guru Nanak at Messologhi
From the city of Athens, the group went to the town of Messologhi by ship. They reached there in the evening before Sodar. Almighty Guru ordered Bhai Sahib Mardana Ji to set the Rabob in Sri Raag so that they can sing in the praise of the True Owner of this universe. Guru advised the residents of Messologhi that it is not their food or their dress that counts but it is the Name of Almighty God which counts to cross over the diffcult ocean of this universe.

In the morning before dawn Selim-I of Ottoman Empire and his courtiers came to the Sangat.

In these Holy Saloks the Almighty Satguru Has Repeated the definition of jog, which is a word from the sanskrit language of India. The meaning of the word is union of one's soul to God or the Supreme Spirit. It is derived from Yog or Jog -- from Indian word yoga, from Skt. yoga-s, lit. "union, yoking" (with the Supreme Spirit). This is the word for the ancient Hindu art of Yoga, often practised by the Faquirs of India, an art in which Guru Nanak placed little, if any, belief in as a means of getting closer to God.
