Good day,
My wife and I are going to Greece, I want to buy her a gift there for a joint anniversary. Tell me, what valuable and memorable things can be bought there?
I know about fur coats, they already exist)))

Pachok, I support 100%. My husband and I carry a suitcase of books from every trip. Although this is individual, many do not understand us :)

Greeks are great admirers of church icons. Icons are all prayed for, iconography is characteristic of the Greek style. Find an icon with her (your wife's) name and buy it. icons can repeat the wave line.

And I liked hand-painted ceramic dishes, but not those that are sold in pottery workshops, but those that are in china shops. Very colorful. Some dish for the table in case the whole family gathers.

Greece has very beautiful silver and gold items. Give a beautiful set with precious stones. Almost all women love it.

Thanks everyone for the replies. The fur coat will probably be a little expensive, the books are very entertaining, especially in Greek and with a fee for excess weight at the airport)).
Travelsita, what about the quality of gold and silver? And where is it better to buy in large stores, or is it acceptable in shops?

The quality of precious metal products is very high, not at all the same as in Turkey and Egypt. My husband gave me a silver set with sapphires for my wedding anniversary last year. Very satisfied with the gift. Bought in Heraklion, in the jewelry pavilion, on the market street. There is a cash receipt and tags indicating the characteristics of the products (including gemological ones). The quality of the products was not in doubt. You can buy both in specialized pavilions and in shopping centers. After all, Greece is still in the European Union. Pay attention to the presence of the sample.
Good luck choosing!

"Find an icon with her (your wife's) name and buy it"
If my husband suddenly gave me a non-antique icon, I would think that he was crazy ... We should first ask if people are fond of religion.
Antiques are a separate topic, and it is problematic to move them between countries just like that.

And there are books, especially on the history and mythology of Greece, here in Russian, in sufficient quantity. I agree with travelsita about precious metals. But about icons, a separate issue, I have never been a believer, but for example, on Corfu in St. a shudder went through that, looking at how people put icons on the relics, I bought it for myself and my relatives and applied it too.

I'm saying it all depends on the person. For someone it will be a normal gift, but for someone ... I imagined - a husband and wife celebrate their anniversary, beauty, romance, passion, wine, dizzy and then - bam! On you, dear, an icon, pray, if anything :)
