Hi everyone!

Can anyone share their experience on how to claim VAT when purchasing in Athens? After Athens, I will be flying to Crete. From Crete, I have a flight at 7AM, and a layover in Zurich for 3.5 hours then back to the US. Where should I go to customs?

I read Zurich isn't in the EU and I should processed VAT in the last EU destination, which in this case, is in Crete.

Thanks!
