意味
Asking for a taxi location.
文化的背景
Taxis in Athens are famous for their bright yellow color. They are everywhere and can be hailed on the street or found at 'piatzas'. In the second-largest city, taxis are blue and white, matching the colors of the Greek flag. On islands, taxis are fewer and often grey or silver. In some places like Hydra, there are no car taxis at all—only water taxis! Greeks often use 'Radio-Taxi' services where you call a central number. There is usually a small extra fee (around 1-2 euros) for this service.
Use the Article
Always include 'το'. Greeks rarely say 'Πού είναι ταξί;' unless they are very rushed.
Accents Matter
In writing, always put the accent on 'Πού'. Without it, it means 'that' or 'which'.

The 'Piazza' Trick
If you can't find a taxi, ask for the 'πιάτσα' (pi-A-tza). It's the local word for a taxi stand.
Be Direct
Greek culture is quite direct. It's okay to ask this question without a long introduction if you are at a taxi stand.
