Whenever we go to a country, we like to buy all kinds of souvenirs. What should I buy for a trip to Greece?

First of all, everything about the olive tree

Olive trees are full of mysterious legends in Greece. It is reported that it grew and propagated through a seed sown by Athena, representing friendship and prosperity, and was deeply loved by the Greeks. Edible olive oil accompanied by olive trees is called "golden liquid" and plays an important role in the daily life of Greeks. When you go to Greece, you naturally bring a bottle of authentic edible olive oil, and the handmade kitchen utensils made of olive trees are also very good.

Second, it comes from Mastiha on the island of Shios.

This Dammam resin, which is obtained from the frankincense tree in Shios Island, is actually the first bubble gum in the world and has been regarded as having medicinal value since ancient Greece. Hippocrates himself, the father of medicine, had better clean his teeth with frankincense to cure the problems of digestion and absorption, and even have a fever and a cold. Mastiha of Chios is famous for its "Tears of Chios" appearance, and it is also a product specially maintained by the European Union for its origin. You can look for many milk-flavored goods according to your personal hobbies, such as frankincense liqueur, bubble gum and so on.

Third, the eye of evil decoration

In ancient Greece, it was generally believed that witches would use evil eyes to solve those who opposed them. A malicious glance can make people sick, lovelorn or have financial difficulties. The weapon against evil eyes is an amulet. This unique blue amulet, similar to eyes, has different shapes and sizes and generally appears on jewelry. Nowadays, many Greek children will wear it, which is one of the typical Greek souvenirs.

Fourth, fennel spirits OUZO

Also known as Wuxia wine, it is a famous Greek wine. Since 2006, it has been specially maintained by the European Union. The history of Ouzo can be traced back to 1856, when NikolaosKatsaros and his family established the first anise winery in Tyrnavos (named ouzoTyrnavouKatsaros, which is still being manufactured today). Because of the unique taste of fennel wine, you may or may not like it, but it is definitely worth a try.

Leather sandals with a hint of ancient Greek design style are deeply trusted by local people and warmly welcomed by tourists. In addition to excellent quality, it is also comfortable to wear and convenient in summer.

Embroidered artworks; I firmly believe that China people are familiar with embroidery. Embroidery is a traditional craft in China, but it also exists in the charming Greek region here. Greek embroidery works of art are all kinds of beautiful paintings made by some rural women using white cloth knitwear, including portraits, animal paintings and landscape Chinese paintings, and then these handicrafts are used as square towels or handkerchiefs. Greek embroidery works of art exude a strong Greek charm, and it is also good to buy some as souvenirs.
