- Olive oil: A major export, used for cooking, lighting, and as a trade good.
- Pottery: Athenian pottery, especially decorated vessels, was highly sought after.
- Wine: Athens traded wine, a popular commodity in the ancient world.
- Textiles: Fabrics and garments were also part of their trade.
- Fish: Fresh and preserved fish were commonly traded.
Grain was usually imported from other regions, as Athens did not produce enough to meet its needs.
