Culture & Etiquette

Tavernas are social and unrushed. The bill usually comes when you ask for it, not automatically.

Even simple words like kalimera and efharisto are warmly received, especially outside major tourist strips.

Island ferries can be affected by weather and schedules vary by season. Build in buffer time for connections.

Cover shoulders and knees at monasteries and churches. Some sites provide wraps, but carrying your own is easier.
