Language:

The official language is Greek, based on using the Greek alphabet. In the big cities and more touristic islands English is widely spoken. In small towns or local areas English is less spoken. Most street signs, and tourist areas are usually sign posted and places such as airports or ferry terminals, are usually written in Greek and English.

Tipping:

Some restaurants add a small service charge to the bill. Otherwise, a tip of roughly 10% is normal. Tipping to hotel porters, taxi drivers and restaurants is common.

Rounding up taxi fares is standard . Two or three euros is usual when tipping a hotel porter in the cities, however it’s appropriate to increase this in places such as Mykonos, or Santorini when porters are carrying bags up many steps.

Electricity:

In Greece the power plugs and sockets are of type C and F. The standard voltage is 230 V and the standard frequency is 50 Hz.
