The Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not publish visa rules for individual countries. It asks Greek citizens travelling outside the EU and the European Economic Area to check with the consular authorities of the country they are visiting before departure – for Colombia, that means this mission. See the ministry’s page on visas for Greek citizens (in Greek).

Applications for Colombian passports, visas and official certificates are not processed here but by the Colombian Embassy in Rome (accredited to Greece).
Note: Colombia has no resident embassy in Athens; its embassy in Rome is accredited to Greece.

Like most offices in Greece, the honorary consulate closes on public holidays – including Clean Monday, Orthodox Easter (Good Friday to Easter Monday), the Assumption (15 August) and Christmas.
