Giving Tips
By law, service charges are included in the bill at hotels, tavernas and restaurants. The Greeks are not tip-crazy, however, they do expect you to leave a little more. If, or course, the service has been good and you enjoyed your meal, then they will be grateful if you show your appreciation. Even if your room or meals are included as part of your package holiday, you'll still want to remember the maid or the waiter if they have given you good service. In general 10% is a satisfactory tip, but this is just a guideline for you.
