The ambassador of Spain to Greece is the official representative of the Kingdom of Spain to the Hellenic Republic.
The first contacts between Spain and the Kingdom of Greece took place at the end of 1832, when Prince Soutzos, Greek ambassador in Paris, informed King Ferdinand VII of the appointment of Prince Otto as King of Greece. Spain recognized the new Greek state on 1834 and established a Legation in Athens that same year.
Relations remained cordial and normal until the 1860s. In this decade, the expulsion of Otto of Greece and the deposition of Isabella II in Spain caused a standstill in diplomatic relations, and, despite a small attempt in 1869, they were not resumed until the 1880s. From 1892 to 1914, diplomatic relations were channeled through the Spanish Legation in Constantinople, and in 1953, both governments elevated their legations to the rank of embassy.
This list was compiled using the work "History of the Spanish Diplomacy" by the Spanish historian and diplomat Miguel ÃÂngel Ochoa Brun. The work covers up to the year 2000, so the rest is based on appointments published in the BoletÃÂn Oficial del Estado.
