Gate-side Greek gifts near security in Terminal 1
Just past security in Terminal 1, Herbs & Olives leans hard into Greek-themed souvenirs rather than generic “Mykonos” trinkets. The shop focuses on food gifts and home items, so think tins of olive oil, herb mixes, and simple kitchen pieces instead of plastic keychains. It sits on the main airside corridor, so you can see your gate numbers on overhead screens while you browse.
Most edible souvenirs land in the €5–€20 range, with smaller herb packets at the low end and gift-ready olive oil sets up top. Shelves also carry Greek sweets and packaged snacks that survive a connecting flight without melting. If you just want something quick for coworkers, grab pre-packed mixes and boxed treats; they take less time to explain at customs than liquid olive oil bottles.
Herbs & Olives sits in the same Terminal 1 post-security zone as the main duty free, so you can hit both in a single loop before boarding. Duty free handles liquor and perfume; this shop is better for kitchen and pantry gifts. If you’re tight on time, walk straight to your gate in T1, check the boarding screens, then double back here so you’re not shopping during final call.
Hours roughly track the day’s flight schedule, opening before the first morning departures in Terminal 1 and staying open through the last evening wave. Stock runs thinner toward the end of busy summer days, especially on mid-price olive oils. If you care about specific labels or neat packaging, aim to visit Herb & Olives earlier in the afternoon rather than on your way to a late-night flight.
