Going to see someone.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
A visit is never just a conversation. It involves 'kerasma' (treats). Turning down a treat can sometimes be seen as impolite, so at least take a sip of the water or coffee offered. Never 'make a visit' between 3:00 PM and 5:30 PM. This is the sacred nap time in Greece. Calling or visiting during these hours is considered very rude. On someone's 'Name Day' (the feast day of the saint they are named after), it is traditional to 'make a visit' to their home without an invitation. This is called 'ανοιχτό σπίτι' (open house). When visiting a home for the first time or for a celebration, it is customary to bring a box of 'pastes' (cream cakes) from a 'zacharoplasteio' (pastry shop) or a bottle of wine.
The 'Sweets' Rule
If you are making a social visit, never go empty-handed. Even a small box of chocolates is appreciated.
Don't 'Pay'
Remember, you 'make' a visit. Using 'πληρώνω' (pay) will make Greeks think you are literally giving money to your friend.
