Cultural Tips for Visiting Greece
Tipping
Tipping isn’t required, but it’s appreciated. Rounding up or leaving 5–10% in euros is a kind gesture at restaurants and cafés.
Beach Culture
Beach chairs are first come, first served. Simply order a coffee or drink from the beach bar as a courtesy to use them.
Dining Etiquette
Most restaurants are casual — if a table is clean, go ahead and sit! Meals are enjoyed slowly, and service may be relaxed. Dinner typically starts later, around 8–9 PM.
Local Rhythms
Shops may close midday (2–5 PM) for rest. Plan accordingly!
Water
Tap water is safe, but bottled water is usually served at restaurants.
Language
Most people speak at least some English, especially in restaurants and shops. Still, a few Greek words go a long way:
Efharistó = Thank you
Yassas = Hello
Parakaló = Please / You’re welcome

The Athens International Airport will be where you fly into! From there it is recommended to get a car service to drive you to Nafpaktos. Renting a car is another option, however it should be noted that Nafpaktos does have tight parking!
