Where to buy crypto from Greece

The exchanges with a MiCA licence for Europe, side by side: what buying costs, how euros go in and out, whether they speak Greek. No single "winner": each suits something different.

The 8 exchanges

Fees, euros and Greek

"Simple buy" is the app's Buy button: easy but dearer. "Pro" is the same exchange's trading platform, maker / taker at the lowest volume.

Highlighted: the best in each row (the lowest fee, free withdrawal, Greek, staking).

How we chose

What the comparison counts

  1. 1MiCA-licensed onlySince 1/7/2026 anyone offering crypto to EU customers needs a MiCA licence. We list only those that have one and may serve customers in Greece.
  2. 2The real costWe compare the app's simple buy, which most people use, and the cheaper pro platform, plus what it costs to put euros in and take them out.
  3. 3Checked dataEvery figure comes from the exchange's own pages or ESMA's register, and is checked again when fees change.
  4. 4Partnerships are shownWith some exchanges we have a partnership and may earn a commission. We say so next to the button, and it changes neither the order nor what we write.

FAQ

What is the best crypto exchange for Greece?

There is no single one. Beginners who want a simple app suit some, low fees and frequent buys others. See the "Best for" row in the table. Whatever you choose, it should have a MiCA licence.

Why is Binance not listed?

Because at our check it had no MiCA licence to serve EU customers. If it gets one, we will add it.

What is a MiCA licence and why does it matter?

It is the licence of the EU's crypto regulation: a supervisor in an EU country oversees the exchange, which must keep customers' funds apart from its own and follow rules on transparency and complaints. It does not protect you from falling prices.

What is the cheapest way to buy Bitcoin?

Usually: deposit euros by SEPA bank transfer, often free, and buy on the exchange's pro platform with a limit order. Card purchases and the simple Buy button cost more.

Do I have to declare crypto to the tax office?

Yes. Under the DAC8 directive, exchanges in the EU record their customers' transactions from 1/1/2026 and report them to the tax authorities, Greece's AADE included. See our guide to crypto taxation.

Is it safe to keep crypto on the exchange?

For small amounts and frequent buys it is practical. For larger amounts held long term, many move them to their own wallet, such as a hardware wallet (see our hardware wallet comparison), since if an exchange goes bankrupt the money may take long to come back.
