With good recipes (you can find plenty on our site, here), you can recreate your favorite Greek meals at home. Even just working with ingredients from your local supermarket, you can bring a taste of Greece to your dining room, wherever you are.

Enthusiasm and “meraki” (basically extra love and care) can certainly go along way. But if you really want to take your Greek cooking to the next level, you need to get your hands on authentic Greek food products.

You want great olives and high-quality EVOO (extra virgin olive oil). You want wine from grapes grown in the same Cycladic island soil that produced your sun-dried tomatoes, salted fish from the Aegean, cheese matured the traditional way, bread rusks twice baked in wood-burning ovens on Crete, organic thyme honey and herbs that developed their enchanting fragrances under the Greek sun.

Thankfully, you can get all of these things delivered straight to your door.

Here are some of our favorite online delis and wine shops that specialize in Greek products and ship internationally:

Ergon Foods

A family business, Ergon Foods began with the idea of building a brand around a selection of excellent Greek products, sourced from farmers and small-producers around the country. They started with honey. In 2017, brothers Thomas and George Douzis opened the first Ergon deli in Thessaloniki. They then added a kitchen producing dishes and snacks, and turned it into a franchise. Today locals at nine Greek locations and in three European cities have embraced Ergon, not just as a place to shop but also enjoy brunch and mezes. From the Ergon Foods online shop, you can purchase everything from pantry ingredients such as honey, pasta, pulses, canned seafood, Pindos truffles, jams and Greek coffee, to fresh eggs, cheese, fish and meat.

Tip: Provide your country and postcode before you start browsing, to see only the products available for shipping to your area.

Yolenis

From a wide range of olive-based products to delicacies like snails farmed on Crete, chutneys made in Athens, and organic capers from Kea, this ambitious company’s online shop stocks almost any food product you can imagine or remember from your visits to Greece. Products come with descriptions and, where applicable, the history of the food item in Greece. Another lovely feature of this site is the recipe section, and recipe suggestions will show up on the pages of many products, helping you understand how to use them in your own kitchen.

Tip: Beware that an extra cost is added on shipping of refrigerated products.

Akros

Another online shop with a wide range of products in stock, Akros sources theirs mainly from artisan producers, and focuses on healthy food products free from preservatives and additives, with high nutritional value. By clicking on the “Healthy” category in the products section, you can browse all of the site’s products according to your dietary preferences (organic, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, sugar free, salt free, superfoods, natural food supplements, raw foods, macrobiotics, weight loss, or food for kids).

Tip: Delivery is free within Greece for orders over €49.

NOMEE

Do you have a meal from a specific Greek destination in mind? In this online shop, which will soon start shipping to Europe, 4000 Greek products are categorized not just by product type but also by origin. So if you are looking to cook up a feast resembling one you’ve had on an island vacation, for example, you can shop from the Aegean Island category and find Kalathaki cheese from Limnos and dried sage from Syros. Alternatively if you long for the Greek mountains, you can browse the Epirus category for products such as pickled cabbage and cauliflower, and organic mountain tea.

Greece and Grapes

Greek wine and spirits have taken a giant leap onto the international market over the last decade, yet it can still be difficult to find a specific variety you might have sampled while on vacation when you get back home. From this online shop, which features a straightforward guide to Greek wine varieties (here), you can find selected bottles of Greek wine that will take you right back to your vacation in Greece, organized by popular producers, regions, and varieties. There is also a long list of spirits produced in the country, including everything from traditional tsipouro (pomace brandy), to popular newcomers like Otto’s Athens Vermouth and liqueurs from Roots.

Tip: Mixed bottle cases are available, so as to bring your shipping costs down (shipping cost is lower if you order an 18-bottle case).

All Greek Wine

Rather than an online shop with its own cellar, this new platform, founded in 2019, provides a space for a long list of Greek wine producers to sell their products. Because the bottles will arrive to you straight from the wineries, there is little risk of products running out. You can browse the site by region or by producer. A short description is presented for each winery.
