GREETING. - The Greeks do not greet with the open palm because this is considered
an insult, but in comparison in our culture is very normal since the majority of the young
people are accustomed to greet thus and it is synonymous of friendship.

The greeting with the kiss on the cheek depends on the religion and type of situation, in
Athens apart from grecia this greeting is common among friends of both sexes, so it is
considered offensive in other situations.

 At a party

In Greece dance is practiced, from expressing feelings and celebrating religious feasts
and war victories, to ensuring fertility, overcoming depression and curing diseases.
Traditional dance is transmitted from generation to generation, and in this way, it
maintains the national identity. The joy of the Greeks proves it by throwing dishes to
the ground to break them at birthday parties, weddings and family gatherings.

It is believed that spitting also distances evil, so it is common to see spitting people to
hear news that is not to their liking, or is simply bad. This is also done as a blessing, at
weddings, or at baptisms.

Greece has become a more expensive country because its prices and wages have
risen unrelated to productivity, is the price effect that has led to less growth in exports
and increased imports, on the other hand, debt has generated a sense of increase Of
income, which has increased the level of spending and imports. Greece was
accumulating a problem of "rising prices" and also of excess revenues via debt and
privatizations.
