What are the Local Laws & Customs
Greek people are renowned for their hospitality. The Greek police are used to dealing with large numbers of foreign tourists, especially on the islands and do so in a low-key way.
Indecent behaviour, including mooning, is not tolerated and the police have made clear that they will not hesitate to arrest. The courts are imposing heavy fines or prison sentences on people behaving indecently.
You should not become involved with drugs of any kind. Possession of even small quantities can lead to long terms of imprisonment.
Driving any vehicle whilst over the legal drinking limit is heavily penalised and can result in stiff fines and/or imprisonment.
If you are seeking employment in bars or night clubs, you are required to have a health certificate/licence issued by the local authorities to work in such establishments. Failure to have such a certificate is punishable by a fine and or imprisonment.
Do not take photographs or make notes near military or official installations. Seek permission before photographing individuals.
In common with many countries there is a requirement in Greece to be able to identify yourself. A passport or document with a photograph on it should be carried at all times.
In order to comply with Greek law, you should ensure that you obtain a receipt for goods purchased. Note that the purchase of pirate CDs in Greece can result in imprisonment |
