📣 Traveler notes

Greece offers a rich culture and history. While the Greek Orthodox Church is important to national identity, contemporary society is generally secular. Locals are known for their hospitality and animated social interactions, maintaining both a strong work ethic and a serious appreciation for leisure.

  • Major public holidays include New Year's Day (Jan 1) and Epiphany (Jan 6).
  • Clean Monday (the first day of Great Lent) is also a movable public holiday.
