Going on a trip to Greece, you should not return home with magnets, cheap souvenirs and other commonplace little things that are unlikely to please your loved ones and help you keep good memories of your vacation. After all, there are some great products worth bringing from this particular country.
Classic Greek goods
There are a number of things that are traditionally brought from Egypt, Ukraine, France, Germany, China - special products associated with a specific country. Greece was no exception. First of all, it is worth bringing at least a little olive oil from there. Believe me, there is much more assortment there, and the quality is higher than in Russia. Especially highly valued is the olive oil prepared not at the factory, but by private producers. You can buy the best in Greece. Please note that it can be difficult to carry oil on an airplane due to the nature of airline policies. Pack bottles carefully and check them in your checked baggage.
Pay attention to a very important detail: the lower the acidity of the olive oil, the higher its quality. It is recommended to choose a product with an acidity of about 0.8%.
If possible, you should bring your own olives with you. It is also recommended to buy them not in the store, choosing a canned product, but in the market, where you can try dozens of different varieties of olives and buy your favorite ones by weight. By the way, at the bazaar you can also find a traditional Greek souvenir - herbs filled with oil and sealed in a beautiful bottle.

These products are of very high quality and are ideal for skin and hair care. In shops and bazaars, you can even buy a special soap based on medicinal herbs and useful essential oils.
