Greece
Greece
is a country on the Balkan peninsula, whose first postal service was
established in 1826 at the time of its independence from the Ottoman
empire. The first stamps were the famous Hermes heads, which were issued
in 1861. Greece's postal history is replete with beautiful topicals
commemorating the Olympics and the sports played during the games.
Our stock has a comprehensive supply of the Hermes heads issues and the
Olympic sets dating back to the first Olympic issue of 1896. We
also have a significant stock of the many issues relating to the ancient
archeology of Greece. Our stock also includes BOB, locals, occupations
and the islands of Crete, Cyprus, Corfu and the Ionian Islands.
