Hello Community,

I hope you are all keeping well!

Let's discuss the cultural similarities and differences between Greece and your country.

For Example: When I was living in the UK, I faced a cultural difference: the nap thing. In Greece, most people, especially in summer, nap in the afternoon. It was so strange for me in the UK that people did not, even when they were on time off.

Please share with us, and let's start the discussion!

I was surprised about the Greek salad, they are completely different from what "Greek salad" is in other EU countries.

Yes, it is very true! There are different versions of Greek salad in other countries.

With food, you can always get creative. What do you think?
