An image from Chios, a greek island where the idea of Unbox Greece was born

How a Greek Tradition Inspired Our Brand

In Greek culture, there’s a heartwarming tradition where mothers send care packages to their children who are far away for studies. This isn’t just about sending food; it’s about sending a piece of home.

The Original Unboxing Experience

Long before “unboxing” became popular online, Greek students had their special version. Imagine a student opening a package far from home and finding layers of familiar items. Each item is a reminder of the tastes and smells of home.

How it all started

Welcome! We’re all about authentic Greek food and beverages. Our story starts not in Greece, but in places where Greek food was missed dearly by three friends: Akis, Chrysi, and Nikos.

Akis, while in the US, struggled to find true Greek tastes, making it hard to share his love for Greek food with his friends. Chrysi had the same problem in the Netherlands, unable to find the right ingredients for a Greek night and ending up with substitutes that didn’t match up.

The turning point came when Chrysi and Nikos, who has a background in the food industry, met Akis in Chios. Inspired by their shared experiences, they came up with the idea for an online shop that would make Greek food available everywhere, avoiding the need for any compromises like tzatziki for sour cream.

Our shop offers a handpicked selection of Greek essentials: Authentic Greek food and beverages from lovebrands to artisans. We’re here to spread the love for Greek food worldwide, whether you miss home, love discovering new flavors, or just enjoy great food.

From Tradition to Business

This beautiful practice inspired our e-commerce startup. We wanted to recreate that same feeling of receiving a care package from home. Our brand and the products we choose are meant to bring the warmth and comfort of a Greek kitchen to people all over the world.

More Than Just Products

Our packages are more than just food; they are experiences. Each box is like receiving a hug from home, packed with love and care. Whether it’s for a homesick student or someone who misses their Greek roots, our boxes deliver not just food, but a feeling of connection and nostalgia.

Every package we send is a chance to relive cherished moments and feel closer to family, no matter how far away you are.

Enjoy!
