Greece–Holy See relations
Bilateral relations
Greece–Holy See relations of diplomatic character were established in 1980. The Holy See immediately set up its Apostolic Nunciature to Greece in Athens. The Greek ambassador to the Holy See resided at first in Paris, where he was concurrently accredited to France; however, in 1988 a separate Greek embassy to the Holy See, situated in Rome, was set up.
In May 2001, Pope John Paul II made a visit of pilgrimage to Greece.[1]
