IT HAS BEEN QUITE A MONTH FOR GREEK SPORT!

Between Birmingham, Eugene, Rieti and Varese, Greek athletes kept bringing home medals in athletics and rowing, and we could not let it pass without saying congratulations!

ATHLETICS

Miltiadis Tentoglou won gold in the long jump at the European Championships in Birmingham, yesterday, with a jump of 8.44m, his 4th European title in a row. Just a month earlier he also topped the podium at the Monaco Diamond League with a world-leading 8.61m.

3 young athletes had a breakout month at the U20 and U18 level. Eleni Iakovaki won U18 gold in the 400m in Rieti with a national record of 52.38s, then backed it up with bronze in the 400m hurdles at the World U20 Championships in Eugene. Apostolia Antonatou took silver in the 100m in Rieti, the first Greek medal ever in that event at the U18 Euros. And Evelyn Mitropoulou and Iouliana Roussou both won silver in Eugene, in the long jump and 800m.

Elina Tzengko added a bronze in the javelin in Monaco.

ROWING

Greece also had a strong showing at the European Rowing Championships in Varese. Petros Gaidatzis won gold in the lightweight single sculls, with Stefanos Ntouskos and Gabriela Lioliou both taking bronze.

CONGRATULATIONS to all of them. It is genuinely exciting to see this next generation coming up alongside our established stars. Wishing all the best to everyone still competing this month.

A proud day for Greece! On 26 July 2026, the wider area of Mount Olympus was inscribed on the List, following the unanimous decision at the 48th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in Busan, Republic of South Korea.

Recognized for both its cultural and natural significance, Mount Olympus is inscribed as a World Heritage property of Outstanding Universal Value, reflecting its enduring symbolism, its profound cultural legacy, and its exceptional natural landscape.

This marks ’s 21st inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and the third in the last three years, reaffirming Greece's steadfast commitment to safeguarding our shared cultural and natural heritage

In the words of Prime Minister Mitsotakis: "From today, the mythical Olympus becomes a mountain for all humankind, which must be protected forever."

24 Ιουνίου: Διεθνής Ημέρα Γυναικών στη Διπλωματία

H Γενική Συνέλευση των Ηνωμένων Εθνών 🇺🇳 καθιέρωσε την 24η Ιουνίου ως Διεθνή Ημέρα για τις Γυναίκες στη Διπλωματία, τον Ιούνιο του 2022, αναγνωρίζοντας ότι η ενεργός και ισότιμη συμμετοχή των γυναικών σε όλα τα επίπεδα λήψης αποφάσεων είναι απαραίτητη για την επίτευξη ουσιαστικής έμφυλης ισότητας, βιώσιμης ανάπτυξης, ειρήνης και δημοκρατίας.

Το Υπουργείο Εξωτερικών 🇬🇷 επιδεικνύει αξιόλογες επιδόσεις ως προς την έμφυλη ισότητα στη σύνθεση του προσωπικού του. Συγκεκριμένα, οι γυναίκες καταλαμβάνουν το 50,1% των θέσεων του μόνιμου προσωπικού, ενώ η παρουσία τους σε θέσεις ευθύνης παρουσιάζει σταθερή άνοδο.

Στις Αρχές Εξωτερικής Υπηρεσίας, το 37,7% των επικεφαλής είναι γυναίκες, ενώ στην Κεντρική Υπηρεσία το αντίστοιχο ποσοστό ανέρχεται σε 40,4%.

Το Υπουργείο Εξωτερικών 🇬🇷 συνεχίζει να προωθεί τη γυναικεία εκπροσώπηση, με πλήρη σεβασμό στις αρχές της αξιοκρατίας, της διαφάνειας και των ίσων ευκαιριών.

The Embassy of Greece in Ottawa was proud to take part once again in this year’s EU Cultural Fair 🇬🇷🇪🇺, held at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau.

The annual EU Cultural Fair vividly showcases Europe’s rich cultural diversity—a diversity that constitutes one of Europe’s greatest strengths. At the same time, this richness is united by a common point of reference: Europe itself, whose shared history, culture, and civilization have forged the modern European identity and unity that make the European Union project so unique.

Many thanks to the Embassy staff and to all those who joined us today at the Greek pavilion, offering the public a taste of Greece’s culture, traditions, and hospitality.

Last but certainly not least, our sincere thanks to the Odyssey Dance Troupe for their outstanding performance, which captivated visitors and beautifully highlighted the vibrancy of Greek cultural heritage🇬🇷.
