Good to Know

  • Pack Layers for Mountains

    Greece's highlands like Meteora and Zagori drop 20°F cooler at night; bring fleece and rain jacket for hikes.

  • Learn Basic Phrases

    Say 'kalimera' (good morning), 'efharisto' (thank you), 'poso kani?' (how much?); smiles open doors in rural spots.

  • Haggle Politely at Markets

    Offer 20-30% below asking price at stalls; it's expected and fun—walk away if needed, they'll call you back.

  • Buy Ferry Tickets Early

    Remote routes fill up; use apps or ports day-of for flexibility, but have backup bus plans.

  • Tip 5-10% at Tavernas

    Round up the bill or add €1-2 per person for good service; not mandatory but appreciated.

  • Sun Protection Essentials

    UV is intense even in spring/fall; use reef-safe sunscreen, hats, and water on beach/nature days.

  • Offline Maps for Spots

    Download Google Maps or Maps.me; signal drops in gorges and islands for navigation.

  • Respect Trail Rules

    Stick to paths in national parks like Vikos to avoid slips; no drones near monasteries.
