Greek gifts for Greece lovers for large budgets
#1 Greek gifts food box
A food box is one of the best Greek gifts for Greek people who moved abroad and miss the taste of home!
The box includes classic Greek ingredients, such as olive oil, ouzo, and Greek spices.
Of course, this food box also works perfectly for Greece lovers who are not actually from there, but who simply love the food!
#2 Greek coffee maker
A real Greek coffee is made with a Briki coffee maker, so if you want to give a Greece gift to a coffee lover, getting them a Briki would be the best gift!
Oh and if this coffee maker seems familiar from other Arabic countries, that is because it’s the traditional way of making coffee in those countries too. This is why I also included the Briki on my list of best Turkish gifts.
The best gift to go with this Briki is of course real Greek coffee beans.
#3 Greek Gifts tea box
If you are looking for Greece gifts for tea lovers, this Greek tea hamper is the perfect gift for them!
It includes sage tea, wild mint, and a Greek-themed kitchen towel.

#4 Traditional Greek music instrument
If you are looking for traditional Greek gifts, this traditional musical instrument might be a good option for you.
The bouzouki is the classic sound you hear in many traditional Greek songs.
It kind of looks like a long and small guitar, but it has a distinctive sound.
It is one of the pricier gifts from Greece, but for music lovers, I think it’s the best!
For even more beautifully decorated bouzoukis, check out Etsy.
If they already have a bouzouki, perhaps this online course to learn how to play the bouzouki is a better gift!
#5 Greek-themed gifts: board games
This chess game in the Greek mythology design is one of the best Greek gift ideas for people who love board games!
If you are looking for gifts s for people who like board games, but not chess. Check out:
- Santorini. A strategy game for ages eight and above
- Cyclades. Another strategy game in which you need to favor the gods in order to win land
- Fight for Olympus. A strategy war game for two players
#6 Map of Greece
Maps are great Greece gifts for travelers who are not traveling in Greece right now. (If you pick a map of Greece of course).
It’s a beautiful addition to their home and it links back to the country they love the most!
There are many different map designs, but I personally really like this colorful one.
But you could also get a modern illustrated one, or one for specific destinations in Greece, such as Athens or Thessaloniki.
Would you rather give a world map? Check out my list of 25 unique world map ideas.
#7 Greek gifts wall art
Do you like the idea of giving something to decorate their homes with, but do they already have a map of Greece or would you prefer something else?
This beautiful set of five panels of Santorini might be a good alternative!
Or check out Amazon for one of the many cool Greek-inspired wall art ideas!
#8 Greece gifts spa box
This spa box is one of the best Greek gifts for Greece lovers who enjoy a bit of self-care too. The spa box includes:
- Two soap bars
- Body oil
- Moisturizers
- Foot balm
And what’s even better is that the products are eco-friendly, cruelty-free, vegan, and all-natural.
#9 Greek sandals
These sandals are the best Greek presents for people who adore the Greek fashion style!

#10 Greece-inspired passport holder
One of the best Greek-themed gifts for travelers is something Greece-related they would take on a trip anyways, such as a passport holder with a Greek design. You can find different options on Zazzle.
My personal favorite was this one in the Greek ornament style. Check out the next gift if you also like this style of Greek-themed gifts.
#11 Greek-themed gifts: socks
I already told you I like the Greek ornament style, which is why I picked the socks in this style too.
But if you want to give socks as Greek-themed gifts, but you don’t like this ornament style as much as I do, check out the other designs on Zazzle!
#12 Greek-themed blanket
This Greek-themed blanket is perfect for people who love Greece and camping. This blanket will keep them warm during the cold nights outdoors!

#17 Greek-themed shirts

If you do like the idea of giving a Greek-themed shirt, but don’t like the design of this one, check out Etsy for more inspiration.
A quick warning though. The list also includes a large number of Greek sorority-themed shirts. Nothing against sorority shirts, I just think it’s not the type of gift you are looking for when searching for actual Greek gifts.
#18 Ouzo gift set
One of the best gifts from Greece for alcohol lovers is of course one of the most famous Greek spirits: ouzo.
At Drizly, you can find quite a few different ouzo brands from Greece, though the most popular one is Metaxa Ouzo.
#19 Travel books
The best gifts for someone traveling to Greece are of course travel books about Greece!
Even if they are a seasoned Greece traveler, they will always be able to find a guidebook about an island or a city they haven’t visited yet. And if someone is heading to Greece for the first time, general guidebooks about Greece will always do well.
I collected a few of the best travel books for you here:
- Fodor’s Essential Greece: With The Best Island. Perfect for people who are going to explore both the islands and the mainland for the first time.
- Lonely Planet’s Greece. Lonely Planets are extremely popular and good guidebooks for budget and mid-range travelers.
- Lonely Planet’s Greek Islands. You probably already guessed that this was the best guidebook for budget travelers who would like to explore the Greek islands.
- DK Eyewitness Travel’s Greece, Athens & The Mainland. A great book for people who are going to explore Greece’s capital and the mainland.
- Frommer’s Athens and the Greek Islands. For people who will first explore the capital city and hop from island to island, the Frommer’s is a great guide.
#20 Fun Greek books
If you are looking for Greek gifts for Greece lovers whose bookshelves are already filled with travel books about Greece, perhaps regular non-travel books about Greece might be a better gift idea.
Again, I couldn’t pick just one book so I have collected a few fun, interesting, or good books about Greece in general. I also selected books within different price ranges, so you can pick one that fits your budget.
- Greece: The Essential Guide To Customs & Culture. This book is perfect for people who are planning to live, work, or study in Greece and need all the information they can get about settling and mingling in Greece. Or for people whose lover is Greek, so they will learn more about their culture and background.
- Get Your Greek On: Basic Greek in Two Weeks. A great book for people who would love to learn the basics of the Greek language.
- Bucket To Greece Vol 1. This book about a British couple that moves to Greece to start a new life. It’s a comic and inspiring book, and it’s part of a series of eight books so that you will have a gift for the coming few occasions!
- Ancient Greece: A Comprehensive Guide To Ancient Greece Including Myths, Art, Religion, And Culture. A great book for people who are interested in history and culture, specifically of Greece. The book is a bit pricier than the books above.
- Greek To Me: Adventures Of The Comma Queen. A great book for Greek language and culture lovers, but who prefer a fun and easily digestible book. The author writes about her personal trip to Greece and shares fun and interesting stories about language, culture, and history.
#21 Greek cookbooks
More awesome Greek presents are Greek cookbooks.
I have selected four Greek cookbooks which I liked the most, but check out Amazon for more options if these don’t match!
- Greece: The Cookbook. This is one of the most expensive, but also the most comprehensive cookbooks on the list.
- Master Greek Desserts: 25 Delicious And Easy Recipes From Greece. This a perfect cookbook for people with a smaller budget and for Greece lovers who can’t get enough Greek desserts!
- My Big Fat Greek Cookbook. A Greek cookbook for under 30$
- The Greek Vegetarian Cookbook. When thinking of classic Greek food, people will often think of a lot of meat and barbeque dishes, but there are also great vegetarian dishes in Greek cuisine. They are just not as well-known. Making this book perfect for vegetarians and non-vegetarians who would like to try a different part of the Greek cuisine.
Greek gifts for small budgets
#22 Greek tote bag
Tote bags with a Greek mythology design are perfect ancient Greece gifts for travelers!

#23 Greece travel journal
The best Greece gifts for travelers are of course travel journals specifically about Greece, so they can write about everything they have seen, tasted, smelled, and experienced during their trip to Greece!

#24 Sweet Greece gifts
