3Cultural Respect

Dress Code: While Greece is generally casual, dress modestly when visiting churches and monasteries. Women should cover their shoulders and wear skirts or pants that reach the knee. Men should also avoid wearing sleeveless shirts in these places.

Greetings: Greeks greet each other with a kiss on both cheeks, even if they’ve just met. A firm handshake is also common. It’s polite to return the greeting in the same manner.
