Seeking accommodation.
Contexte culturel
Greeks are famously helpful with directions. If you ask 'Πού είναι το ξενοδοχείο;', they might use their whole body to point or even walk with you. In Crete, hospitality is even more intense. Asking for a hotel might result in an invitation for a 'raki' first. In the busy capital, people might be more brief. They will point to the nearest Metro station as a reference point. On islands, directions are often given by the sea. 'Towards the port' or 'Up the hill'.
