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 the Republic of the Congo, that means this mission. See the ministry’s page on visas for Greek citizens (in Greek).

Binding consular acts – passports, visas, certificates – are the responsibility of the Congolese Embassy in Rome (accredited to Greece).
Note: The Republic of the Congo has no resident embassy in Athens; its embassy in Rome is accredited to Greece.
