Is it possible to access the Greek Corp bond market for my small PA?

Why not ? Some of that stuff trades in EUR 1000 lots I guess (without having anything special in mind). What are you looking for ? EEEK ?

Lemme see...
HTOGA 5 08/05/2013 @94.628/95.670 trades in retail size (the others probably also, didn't check)
PPC has no bonds outstanding
EEEK same as above
ELPE same as above
PPA same as above
OPAP same as above
I just picked a few names that might be of interest, excluding banks. The issue is probably that there are not that many bonds outstanding at all.

Trades in retail size OTC? or is there an organized exchange for these?

I know guys who bought HTOGA for their PA in retail size. Those trades went through an exchange. Most exchanges I checked offered something, bid-ask makes the difference.
