Is it expensive to buy LV in Athens?
Buying LV in European countries is more cost-effective, close to the 6.6% discount in China (proportion after tax rebate). The LV in Athens is a little cheaper than that in Italy, and 12-24% tax can be refunded according to different rules.
It's recommended that you refund cash at the airport! LV cooperates with BLUElink. When you pay, you can tell the clerk to refund cash at the airport (the procedure of returning visa card is more troublesome than cash). There is a little service charge for returning cash. In addition, the items for tax refund inspection in Greece are not very strict, as long as they are all in the box, which is much looser than other EU countries.
