7Local Customs and Etiquette

While visiting Santorini, it’s essential to respect the local customs and etiquette. Greeks are known for their warmth and hospitality, so be sure to greet locals with a friendly “kalimera” (good morning) or “kalispera” (good evening). When entering churches or monasteries, dress modestly and avoid wearing revealing clothing. Additionally, tipping is customary in Greece, with a gratuity of 5% to 10% typically appreciated for good service in restaurants and cafes.
