9Respect Local Customs and Etiquette

Greek culture places a strong emphasis on hospitality and respect for others. When visiting churches or monasteries, dress modestly and avoid loud behavior out of respect for religious customs. Additionally, Greeks are known for their warm and friendly demeanor, so greet locals with a smile and a friendly “Kalimera” (good morning) or “Kalispera” (good evening) to start off on the right foot.
