The opening of the new honorary consulate means that Estonians visiting Rhodes will be able to receive assistance locally if needed. The Honorary Consul will also help strengthen ties between Estonia and Greece and promote cooperation in tourism, culture and business.
“As Honorary Consul, Stergos Leventis will be an important representative of Estonia on Rhodes and a link between Estonia and Greece. His work will help raise awareness of Estonia, strengthen cultural and economic ties between our countries and assist Estonians who need help while travelling. We are very grateful to him for his willingness and commitment to representing Estonia,” Veski said at the opening of the honorary consulate.
According to Veski, Estonia and Greece are good partners within the European Union and Allies within NATO. Cooperation between the two countries spans culture and the economy, as well as defence and digital affairs. One practical example is the mutual recognition of e-prescriptions, which makes travelling easier for people from both countries.
Greece is a popular travel destination among Estonians, and contacts between the two countries are also frequent. In 2025, 33,600 Estonians travelled to Greece, while 17,500 Greeks visited Estonia. The new Honorary Consul will help strengthen these ties further by promoting both tourism and business contacts between Estonia and Rhodes.
The honorary consulate opened on Rhodes is Estonia’s fourth in Greece. In addition to Rhodes, Estonia has honorary consuls in Thessaloniki, Patras and Agios Nikolaos on the island of Crete. Estonia has more than 200 honorary consuls around the world, who assist Estonian citizens, promote Estonia and build contacts in their countries of residence.
The Honorary Consulate in Rhodes is located at: 11 Ammochostou Street, Rhodes, 85131, Greece.
Entrance: Lift B, 3rd floor.
