Good question, Suomi666. I was actually waiting for someone to ask this. Greece is a special case, it seems that the authorities just ignored it for many years but now we heard some news about people getting in troubles for steroids sale there too. It would be great to have someone knowledgeable to comment on this.

I'll explain. The main reason why steroids are available in Greece is their system of prescription drugs. While in most Western countries you can't buy prescription drugs over-the-counter, this is actually possible in Greece. The only reason for having the "prescription drug" status is the lower price. So if you are ready to pay the full price, you can get almost any drug OTC, definitely so anabolic steroids.
This, along with some leniency of authorities typical for southern and less developed countries led to a sort of steroid paradise in Greece.
However, in the last 2 years or so, several large sellers got bust even in Greece, apparently because of pressure from other EU countries.

In fact, there were some major busts in Greece as early as 2005. But for small amounts it should be OK, just like most Asian countries.
