Tips:

• Greeks are always ready to help tourists. Do not hesitate to consult them at any time.


• Of course Greeks go to bed really late at nights so their standard is to start dinner after 9pm.


• Useful words: ‘NE’ meaning yes, ‘OHI’ meaning no and ‘Efharisto poli’ meaning thank you very much.


• Never wave with your all your five fingers stretched pointing to someone or show all of them wide open to someone to indicate the number 5. It is considered a very offensive sign in Greek body language and means bad luck for the person who sees it!
