Tipping in Greece

[chefestelle]

Hello! I'm looking for tipping advice from our Greek members. I recently saw a post from a European poster who urged me to consider the tipping customs in Europe and not presume to bring my Canadian practices over. I intended to tip according to custom but this got me working on my research. The information was quite inconsistent! What are the tipping customs for dining, cabs, porters and room attendants? Thanks very much in advance!

5 to 10 percent in restaurants.

 

one euro per bag with porter

 

taxi driver fie to ten percent.

Thank you!

At least ten percent in restaurants, round up for taxis, tip the bellman who carries your luggage to your room in hotel.........

We tried to tip our guide from "Athens Walk" and she wouldn't accept it. She tailored the walk to include 4+ hours at the Acropolis, Agora, and Plaka. She normally fits the museum into the tour but I said that we could do it ourselves to maximize her time at the ruins. She also arranged the cab to pick us up 2 hours after the tour.

Interesting. Thanks for that story.
