Wholesale Kids Clothes for Greece Buyers — Direct from Turkey
Greece is a neighbouring market with a two to four day road transit via the İpsala border, so Greek retailers can operate on the same fast-replenishment model as Bulgarian buyers. The product mix differs sharply, though: Greek demand skews heavily to spring-summer, with a long selling season for lightweight cotton, swimwear and beach-adjacent kidswear, and a comparatively short winter window. We build Greek programmes around 140-160gsm jersey, cotton poplin, muslin and swim fabrics, with occasion pieces for the strong Greek christening and celebration market. Island retailers add a domestic ferry leg, which we factor into delivery planning rather than treating as a delay.

Questions
Frequently asked
How long does delivery to Athens take?+
Three to four days by road via İpsala; Thessaloniki is typically two to three. Island destinations add one to three days for the domestic ferry leg.
Do you supply swimwear?+
Yes. Kids swimwear in recycled polyester and PBT with UPF 50+ options is produced to order, with a 100 pcs per style minimum due to fabric lots.
What sells in the Greek winter season?+
The winter window is short, so most Greek buyers stock light knitwear, hoodies and mid-weight cotton rather than heavy outerwear.
Can you produce christening and occasion wear?+
Yes — poplin, lace-trim and knitted ceremony pieces are available, typically at 100 pcs per style because of the handwork involved.
Is duty payable in Greece?+
No duty on qualifying Turkish-origin apparel with an A.TR certificate. Greek VAT applies at import.
