Grèce

Civilité & respect

• 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.
