Thessaloniki lies in Central Macedonia. The embassy in Athens is roughly 305 km away.
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 United Kingdom, that means this mission. See the ministry’s page on visas for Greek citizens (in Greek).
Which British office issues passports and visas?
Official documents for British citizens are issued by the British Embassy in Athens or one of the consulates in Corfu, Heraklion and Zakynthos; the honorary consulate can explain the procedure.
Closing days
Expect the honorary consulate to be closed on Greek public holidays such as Epiphany (6 January), Independence Day (25 March) and Ochi Day (28 October). On the British national day (13 June) the office is usually closed or holds a reception. Check before visiting in the weeks around Christmas and Easter.
