What does the honorary consul in Alexandroupoli do?
The honorary consulate represents Russia in Alexandroupoli and the surrounding area. Konstantinos Palakidis holds the post, according to the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Alexandroupoli lies in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace. Distance to the Russian Embassy in Athens: about 370 km.
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 Russia, that means this mission. See the ministry’s page on visas for Greek citizens (in Greek).
Which Russian office issues passports and visas?
For passports, visas and civil status documents, Russian citizens contact the Russian Embassy in Athens or the consulate general in Thessaloniki.
Closing days
The honorary consulate is normally closed on Greek public holidays. The Russian national day, 12 June, normally means a closure too. If your visit falls close to a holiday, confirm by phone or e-mail.
