文化的背景

In traditional Greek villages, an open door was a symbol of honesty and hospitality. It meant the family had nothing to hide and everyone was welcome. Many famous Greek songs use the phrase 'Άνοιξε την πόρτα' as a plea for a lover to return or for a new beginning in life. The 'Golden Gate' of Constantinople was the most ceremonial door in the Greek world, only opened for the Emperor's triumphs. In Greek apartment buildings, it is common to use the intercom to ask someone to open the main entrance door before they reach your specific flat.
