Old ladies like to wear all kinds of brightly colored clothes very much.
Etiquette and manners
Greeks have elegant manners and many special things. They don't wave and wave, thinking that this is an act of contempt for others, and the closer their hands are to each other's faces, the more insulting they are. They also think that staring at others for a long time is a sign of bad intentions. Sneezing in public and wiping your nose with a handkerchief are even more taboo for them.
Meeting etiquette
Generally speaking, Greeks shake hands when meeting guests in social situations, but in many cases, they also express friendly feelings by hugging and kissing. When Greeks meet other people on the road, they greet each other as a sign of friendship, even if they are strangers. If the road is narrow, they always let each other go first, especially for foreigners.

If the other person talks endlessly, you'd better listen respectfully.
Travel etiquette
Greece's railway, road, passenger transport and urban transportation are all state-owned. Due to the development of tourism, land and water transportation is developed. But in a big city like Athens, there are too many private cars, so the traffic is very crowded.
