Signification
Letting air in.
Contexte culturel
Opening windows is a sign of a well-kept home. It is common to see windows open all day in the summer. Windows are often kept closed in winter to save heat, making the act of opening them a deliberate choice. Shutters are often used alongside windows to control light and heat. In dense cities, opening windows might be avoided due to noise and pollution.

The 'Draught' fear
Greeks are often wary of 'ρεύμα' (draught). If you open a window, be prepared for someone to ask if it's okay.
