There�s no such thing as �duty free� any longer, only �duty paid�.

You can get genuine brands such as Marlboro in Greece, I believe.

Tobacco products are cheaper in Spain than in France � Belgium is cheaper than France but not as cheap as Spain. Luxembourg is about on a par with Spain I think, but it�s 200 miles from the channel ports.

There�s some info here to interest you, but Greece isn�t mentioned as far as I can see ...

The price is the same everywhere in Spain. The other countries I�m not sure about.

The �guidelines� are that you can bring back 3200 cigarettes from another EU country if they�re for your own use. Note that the Canary Islands are not part of the EU, so the limit is only 200.

Prices have been creeping up during the last few years in most countries. The other factor is that you could get about 1.49 Euros for �1 a couple of years ago, but now you�ll only get about 1.32
