Respect & manners
- Cover shoulders and knees in churches and monasteries.
- Don't flush toilet paper in many places: old pipes. Use the bin provided.
- Tipping: about 5–10% in restaurants is appreciated.
- Don't touch or take stones from archaeological sites: it is illegal.
- Greeks often eat late, and lunch can last for hours.
- An open palm pushed towards someone (the "moutza") is a rude gesture.
