What does the honorary consul in Athens do?

This honorary office looks after Malaysian interests in Athens. According to the Greek Foreign Ministry’s list of consular posts (September 2026), the post is held by Savvas Tzanis. According to the Greek list, the office covers the whole of Greece. There are no published opening hours, so arrange a meeting first. The quickest way to reach the office: call +30 210 942 6352 and e-mail HonoraryConsulateGreece@malaysia.gr.

Athens lies in Attica.

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 Malaysia, that means this mission.

Which Malaysian office issues passports and visas?

Official documents for Malaysian citizens are issued by the Malaysian Embassy in Bucharest (accredited to Greece); the honorary consulate can explain the procedure.

Note: Malaysia has no resident embassy in Athens; its embassy in Bucharest is accredited to Greece.

Holidays and closures

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. The Malaysian national day, 31 August, normally means a closure too. Check before visiting in the weeks around Christmas and Easter.
