Tavli (backgammon) is an integral part of the Greeks’ daily life. They play it in the street, in the cafés (cafénion) and at any time of day. For old and young alike, it’s a moment of relaxation.
Religion
98% of Greeks are orthodox. Their popes (priests) can be married and have children. They are distinguishable by their long black robes and their characteristic hats. Don’t miss a visit to their churches with their painted walls and their wealth of icons, but you must be discreetly dressed – no shorts. Easter in Greece is quite exceptional. It’s the time for 15 days of celebration all over the country.
