None. There are no Greek spices (none exist), they import all spices same
as most of the world does. There are some Greek herbs, but those are
readily available throughout North America. Greece produces olive oil but
so do many countries, and in fact there are California olive oils that are
just as good as any produced anywhere on the planet, and better than most.
I really don't think there is anything Greek (and Greek style) that is
better in Greece. Have a good visit, don't consume too much ouzo, and be
wary of sexually transmited disease, Greece is almost as notorious for
filthy prostitution as Italy.
