"In Kefalonia, it's considered rude to rush or push people to move faster, as the pace of life is generally slower and more relaxed. Avoid discussing politics or the economic crisis, as these are sensitive topics. It's also considered impolite to refuse food or drink when offered by a host. When visiting churches or monasteries, dress modestly and women should cover their shoulders and knees. Men should also avoid wearing shorts in these places. Avoid making the 'moutza' gesture, which is extending all fingers and presenting the palm towards someone, as it's considered highly offensive. It's also important to respect the afternoon siesta time, usually between 2pm and 5pm, when many businesses close and people rest. Making excessive noise during this time is frowned upon. Lastly, Greeks are very proud of their culture and history, so avoid making negative comments about them," commented one expat who made the move to Kefalonia, Greece.
