Greeks in Uruguay

Greek Uruguayans (Greek: Έλληνες της Ουρουγουάης) are Uruguayan residents of either full or partial Greek ancestry or Greece-born people who reside in Uruguay.
The Greek community in Uruguay numbers between 25,000 and 28,000 people; most of them live in the Montevideo area. The 2011 Uruguayan census revealed 103 people who declared Greece as their country of birth.
The Greek community center and the Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Nikolaos are located on 19 de Abril Avenue in Prado. Another important Greek institution in Montevideo is the Maria Tsakos Foundation which offers free lessons of the Greek language, of Greek dances and cooking and organizes cultural activities. The Great Uruguayan footballer, Obdulio Varela was of Greek descent.
