General Tipping Guidelines

When visiting Greece, tipping customs may differ from what you're used to. Here are some general guidelines to follow:

✓Check if a service charge is already included on your bill before tipping extra.
✓When in doubt, observe what locals do or ask your hotel concierge for advice.
✓Keep small bills and coins in the local currency handy for tipping situations.
✓For exceptional service, a small tip is almost universally appreciated even in non-tipping cultures.
✓Tip in local currency whenever possible — foreign coins and small bills are hard for staff to exchange.
