Just asking everyone, do you need to leave tips when renting a car, eating, and staying in hotels in Greece ?

Not mandatory, it's up to you and your mood. If you don't want to give, it's fine. Greeks are much more sincere than Italians. I usually don't give change, usually no more than 5, and no more than 10 at most. I usually give to hardworking porters (many hotels have steep stairs) and restaurants where I have a good chat. A barbecue restaurant in Olympia took me to buy medicine on their motorcycle. I didn't stay at any really good hotels. Greek hotels are usually non-chain hotels with prices around 1,000 yuan per night, but they are more expensive on Santorini.

Is anyone there? I would like to ask if you must use another credit card as collateral when renting a car in Greece. If you use the same credit card as collateral, can this card still be used for consumption? I will rent a car in Santorini, Zakynthos, and Kefalonia ? Greece Q&A

Today we returned the car in Fira. We had agreed to return the car before 18:00 on the contract, but when we arrived at SIXT at 5:30, it was already closed. We had to walk to the next store to ask someone to borrow a phone to call at around 6 o'clock. They told us to park the car in the parking lot about 200 meters ahead, and then leave the car key under the seat without locking the car. It's too insecure, so I'm just going to leave the car there and return the key when the store opens at 9 o'clock tomorrow. Have you ever encountered this situation ? Greece Q&A

In summary, the schedule is too tight, I'm not sure how much time I have left to play, but the days are late in Greece, it's not until 8 o'clock at night that it gets dark, and it doesn't matter if you go late to places without tickets, it takes a long time to get to Meteora from there, whether it's from Athens or your itinerary from Meteora to Delphi, your estimated time will definitely be exceeded, considering that you have six people, you must stop in the middle, driving too fast is tiring and unsafe. Mystras needs to be repaired in the castle on the mountain and the monastery below, Monemvasia also has a castle on top of the mountain and a town crossing, they are all not small, they need a lot of time, I think each point a day is very rushed, relatively speaking, Delphi, Olympia and the Theatre are small points (although they are not small), your itinerary on the 14th is really impossible to do, you have to go from Monemvasia to Nafplion to Epidaurus and then go to Cape Colonna and back to the Temple of Poseidon and back to Athens, you basically have no time to shop, just drive. I really suggest you delete some points and enjoy the leisure of Greece～ ? Greece Q&A
