: Notes on Tourism in Greece

1. Greeks are forbidden to slap others in the face. When you say the number five, don't compare it with five fingers. They think this gesture is cursing others.

The ancient Greeks were superstitious. They nailed an eye to the child because they thought bad luck was bad eyes at work. In order to get rid of this bad luck, they will spit on this person, of course, not in Barry's mouth. So if you say something bad while chatting, if they spit on you, don't react too much.

3. 99% people in Greece are Orthodox Christians, and there are many churches. When you enter the church, you must pay attention to etiquette, don't dress too revealing, and don't take pictures.

Summer is dry and hot, so you must protect yourself from the sun. Winter is not suitable for Greece, because the shops on the island are closed and the weather is unstable.

5. Regarding the most critical part of self-driving, China driver's license holders are not allowed to drive in Greece in any form. But if you have a British driver's license and other relevant documents, most car dealers and suppliers will rent a car for you. But you must keep a low profile and strictly obey the traffic rules. The road conditions in Greece are average. In case of police or other circumstances, it will be punished as illegal car rental. This requires psychological preparation, so in most cases, public transportation is more recommended than renting a car.
