Before You Go
Essential Travel Tips
Wear comfortable walking shoes; Athens involves a lot of walking on uneven surfaces, especially at archaeological sites.
Hydrate frequently, especially during warmer months. Carry a reusable water bottle.
Be prepared for late dining. Athenians typically eat dinner much later than in many Western countries, often after 9:00 PM.
Learn a few basic Greek phrases like 'Yia sas' (hello/goodbye) and 'Efharisto' (thank you) – locals appreciate the effort.
Dress modestly when visiting churches or monasteries, covering shoulders and knees.

Local Insights & Tips
Greeks are known for their warm hospitality (philoxenia) and expressive communication, often using animated gestures. Coffee culture is a significant part of daily life, with Greeks spending hours over a single cup as a social ritual. Time can be flexible, so embrace the relaxed 'siga siga' (slowly, slowly) pace. When invited to a Greek home, a small gift is always appreciated.
