A foreign ministry statement late Tuesday said the decision followed consultation with fellow European Union members.
The ministry said it will keep two diplomats in the European Union delegation in Damascus to handle its interests.
Spain recalled its ambassador to Syria last month.
Britain, Canada, France and the United States have also announced the closure of their embassies in Syria.
