The embassy and the consular network in Greece are meant to help the UK citizens living in the country or traveling to Greece. There are five permanent consulates in Greece, as well as one consulate in Kos only during the summer months and honorary Consuls in Patras and Syros.

If a UK citizen is victim of a crime, loses the passport, is seriously injured or ill, needs a doctor or is arrested, then help may come from the consulate located closest to the place where the incident happened. If a UK national dies or their child is abducted or they need a lawyer, the UK embassy or consulate may provide help as well.
