μήπως (= whether/ if)  is used only in questions in direct or indirect speech.

Ex.

Μήπως έχεις ώρα; = Do you have the time? (direct question)

Με ρωτάει μήπως έχω ώρα. = He asks me if I have the time. (indirect question)

ίσως (= perhaps / maybe) is used in statements.

Ex.

Ίσως έρθω αύριο το πρωί. (= Perhaps I come tomorrow morning)
