Is Greece a good place to buy Rolex?

If you cancel the vacation you could use the saved money to buy any watch you want from a grey dealer.

It's the old paradigm. Before the mania when watches were readily available everywhere all the time, people would take advantage of favorable tax/exchange rates when travelling.

Like just about everything else the world has changed, and probably not for the better.

I went last year and popped in two stores. Didn’t go out of my way, just as I passed and you’d have better luck trying to strangle a dolphin. They said point blank “locals only” and tried to sell me other stuff.

It sounds like you're looking forward to exploring Athens during your cruise! With seven ancient sites in the city alone, you'll have plenty of opportunities to immerse yourself in history and culture. Whether you're visiting the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora, or any of the other remarkable landmarks, there's a good chance you'll have a memorable experience. Enjoy your trip!
