How to Send Flowers to Greece from Abroad
You can send flowers to Greece from abroad with a single online order. Pay in USD by international card or PayPal, and a local florist in Greece hand-delivers the bouquet to any address in the country. This guide covers the steps, the timing, the cost, and which flowers suit Greek occasions.
Can you send flowers to Greece from abroad?
Yes. Orders are accepted from any country, so the process is the same whether you live in the USA, the UK, Canada, Spain or somewhere else. The service covers all of Greece, from Athens and Thessaloniki to Heraklion and Chania on Crete.
How do you send flowers to Greece from abroad, step by step?
- Browse the flowers category, which has 152 bouquets, arrangements and plants.
- Choose a price. Prices run from USD 72.99 to USD 199.99 before the delivery fee.
- Enter the recipient's name, full address and phone number, then write your message. Every order includes a free printed card.
- Pay in USD with an international Visa, Mastercard or American Express card, or with PayPal. Card payments are processed through Stripe.
- Add a preferred delivery time in the instructions if you have one. The florist tries to meet it, but exact time slots are not guaranteed.
How long does delivery take, and when should you order?
Delivery is next day across Greece, Monday to Saturday, for orders placed before midnight Greece time. Same-day delivery is not offered, and there are no deliveries on Sundays or main public holidays.
The time difference catches many people out. Greece is seven hours ahead of US Eastern Time, so an order placed at 8 pm in New York is already 3 am the next day in Greece. Check the time in Greece, not your own, before you click order.
For the big dates in the next year, these are the safe order windows:
| Occasion | Date | Latest order (before midnight Greece time) | Delivery day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas (Christougenna) | December 25, 2026 (Friday) | Wednesday, December 23, 2026 | Thursday, December 24, 2026 |
| Valentine's Day (Giorti ton Erotevmenon) | February 14, 2027 (Sunday) | Friday, February 12, 2027 | Saturday, February 13, 2027 |
| Mother's Day (Imera tis Miteras) | May 9, 2027 (Sunday) | Friday, May 7, 2027 | Saturday, May 8, 2027 |
Because Valentine's Day and Mother's Day fall on Sundays, the last delivery day is the Saturday before. Order at least two to three days ahead of these dates to leave room for any problem.
How much does it cost to send flowers to Greece?
Bouquets start at USD 72.99, plus a flat USD 14.95 delivery fee, so the lowest total is USD 87.94. Most of the catalog sits between those prices and USD 199.99 for the top-end arrangements, with the delivery fee added on top of each.
You pay in USD, and the site shows EUR and GBP for reference only. For example, the Lavender Honey Bloom costs USD 79.99, so the total with delivery is USD 94.94. Cakes and food hampers are not sold, though a few gift add-ons such as chocolates, a glass vase or a greeting card can be added to a flower order.
Which flowers are appropriate in Greece, and which should you avoid?
Flowers are a common gift for a name day (onomastiki giorti), a birthday or a visit, and roses, lilies and mixed bouquets suit most happy occasions. Choose bright, fresh arrangements for a celebration, and keep the colours cheerful.
Avoid sending a funeral-style arrangement to a celebration. Chrysanthemums are closely linked with funerals and cemetery visits in Greece, so skip them for birthdays, name days and Mother's Day. If you are sending condolences, browse the sympathy category instead, where the arrangements are designed for that purpose.
What details do you need from the recipient?
You need three things: the recipient's name, a full delivery address and a phone number. The phone number lets the florist coordinate the delivery, so use one the recipient can answer.
Include the street, number, floor and the name on the doorbell if the building uses one. Write the name the way the recipient uses it, so the florist can match it on the door. If you know a preferred time, put it in the delivery instructions.
To place your order, go to sendflowersgreece.com, start with the flowers category, and enter the recipient's details at checkout. Order before midnight Greece time, and allow two to three days ahead for holidays and special dates.
