Etiquette

The people of Athens are open, friendly and outgoing people. Here they like to talk and emotionally gesticulate during the conversation. To avoid trouble, you should know which gestures should not be used when communicating with the Greeks:

• throwing your head up (while looking at the sky or at the ceiling), means “no”;
• greeting wave of the hand when meeting a friend at a great distance (open palm with open fingers) – here it symbolizes extreme indignation;
• holding up two fingers, as if you want to order two coffees in a cafe, is considered an insult;
• the common “OK” sign (thumb and forefinger joined) is a hint of vulgarity and homosexuality;
• the outstretched hand is called “munza” and symbolizes extreme irritability – this is a rude insult, the equivalent of the middle finger;
• tapping oneself lightly on the forehead means “you said something stupid”;
• a raised thumb tells the interlocutor a sharp “shut up”.

Tourists should be aware that from 15:00 to 17:00 in the whole country is the afternoon rest time. During this period, do not disturb friends with calls and excessive attention. Stores are closing, and their employees often take a nap right in the workplace.

After a short but pleasant acquaintance, the locals may invite you to dinner. On a visit, you should definitely go with a present – be it a bottle of wine, dessert or flowers. It is not customary to take off your shoes in the house, as a rule, the flooring is tiles, which the housewives rub to a shine. Be sure to pay attention to the elderly relatives of the owners, as well as children. During dinner, you need to try all the dishes, and after a toast to a dear guest, be sure to make a mutual toast. Before leaving, you must thank for a pleasant evening and be sure to make a return invitation to visit or to a cafe, where the invitee fully pays the bill.

Locals consider name day to be perhaps the most significant holiday, even more important than a birthday. At the same time, you can not give a gift, but congratulations and wish the best is a must.

When talking to locals, don’t mention Turkey, don’t order Turkish coffee in cafes, and avoid talking about politics. Do not criticize Greece, on the contrary, emphasize the merits of the country.

In cafes and restaurants, it is customary to leave a tip of about 10% of the bill, despite the fact that it may include service. Tips are often the main income of waiters. It is also worth leaving a few euros in the hotel and in the taxi.

Documents should be kept in a hotel safe, and only copies of them should be taken with you, and not to attract the attention of criminals with expensive jewelry and other things.

Keep your handbags and backpacks in front of you in crowded places, sightseeing trips and sightseeing tours. In addition, tourists should avoid evening and night walks in the areas of Omonia, Exarchia, Monastiraki, Syntagma and Patissia.
