Culture
For the Greeks, Easter celebrations are far more important than Christmas, and are an occasion of grand preparations and various festivities and feasts. All shops and museums are closed.
Despite the intrusive tourism development, certain locals, especially inland, have preserved their legendary hospitality. If you go through the trouble of learning to speak a few words of Greek, then they will reveal themselves as welcoming and generous.
Days go by following the rhythm of the Mediterranean. Mornings end with lunch between 1:00 and 3:00 pm. Then comes the siesta. Life kicks off again from around 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm, which is the time for evening walks and terrace discussions, and around 10:00 pm it's time to gather for dinner!
