What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Grecia?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Grecia if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"In Grecia it is considered polite to greet people with a handshake and a warm greeting whenever possible. Therefore, it is important to be mindful to avoid any disrespectful or rude behavior. While speaking to local people, address them in a respectful manner and avoid making comments about their customs, culture, or language. It is wise to dress modestly and refrain from being overly loud or boisterous in public places. Additionally, one should respect religious institutions and avoid taking photographs unless given permission to do so," said another expat in Grecia, Costa Rica, Costa Rica.
