How do I get this from amazon or the store? I might buy some random stuff (food, vitamins, pillows, maybe a massager) from the amazon german version when in Athens. Won’t have a printer and tbh I kinda really doubt all stores will have a form like the one on the right even tho the link says I’ll get the form.
Anyone been through this process in Greece, how did it go?

Maybe I am stupid but you want to buy from a German shop paying VAT to the German state and get refunded by the Greek State for your german tax?
Because that’s what you are asking when telling that you are buying from german Amazon and asking in r/Greece how to get refunded.
I believe that the refund scheme is for physical stores only and not all stores do it as they have to provide a specific form to show at customs when leaving. But in general a purchase from a physical store in Germany will be refunded in Greece as long you have the right forms.
