What to Expect in Shipping and Freshness

• Shelf-life Most sweets with syrup like baklava, for example, ship well and can last for 5-10 days at the room temperatures. Sugar cookies that are powdered (e.g. Kourabiedes) can be more sensitive to moisture.
• packaging Find bakery-box or vacuum sealed packaging that has little moving inside.
• Delivery times: overnight or two-day shipping is the best option. Avoid long journeys during the summer temperatures.

Price Range and Quality

• Baklava trays: $25–$45 depending on size and nut blend
• Cookie assortments: $15–$30
• Custom dessert boxes: $40–$60 with gift-ready presentation
• Shipping costs: May add $10–$20 based on location and season

Look for sites offering transparent ingredient lists and clear photos.

Imported vs Local Production

• Imported products provide nostalgia and a classic brand (ideal for expats and authentic seekers)
• Local artisanal stores typically offer more fresh and more handcrafted versions made with traditional techniques

Select based on what you value most whether you want a shelf-stable authentic experience or a bakery fresh experience.

Specialty Items to Look For

• Tsoureki breads Braided sweet bread with mahlab and Mastic
• Vegan halva or fasting cookies
• Spong sweets (glyka tou koutaliou): Cherry, quince or fig preserves
