Sunny Greece is an ideal place to relax. A gentle sea and unspoilt beaches, interesting historical monuments and olive groves attract many tourists to Homer's homeland. And each of them wants to remember to stay in these blessed places to bring home a souvenir or a memorable gift. After all, "there is everything in Greece," as they say in the old joke. However, certain restrictions exist for the export of certain goods from Greece. So, what can not be exported from Greece?

What is forbidden to export from Greece?

If you can bring in free to Greece no more than 10 thousand euros, then for the export of currency from the country there are no restrictions.

In the customs regulations for the removal of baggage from Greece, there is the only strict official ban on the export of antiques, as well as ancient stones from archaeological excavations. In addition, objects found on the seabed are prohibited from exporting from Greece. If such things are found in the baggage of a person leaving the country, then all of them will necessarily be confiscated, and the violator may even be criminally liable. But copies of various ancient works can not be taken out. If you bought fur, leather products or jewelery in Greece, do not forget to take a check in the store, which will have to be presented at the border.

There are no other restrictions on the export of products or other goods from Greece. However, and you can not bring everything to your country. For example, in the customs regulations of many countries it is forbidden to import alcohol in quantities greater than what is stipulated. So it turns out that you can take out wine from Greece, Metaxa brandy and even olive oil you can, and at the entrance to your country all this can be confiscated from you. To prevent this from happening, ask the air carrier company in advance if they have any prohibitions or restrictions on the carriage in luggage of liquid substances.

But in hand luggage carry liquid on the plane is not allowed anywhere. So here to someone as lucky: when you return home you can go through the green corridor, and you will not even inspect your luggage.
