Etiquette, safety and scams

Etiquette

  • Greeting: Say 'kaliméra' (morning) or 'kalispéra' (evening) on entering shops and tavernas; avoid: Launching straight into a question
  • Hospitality: Accept offered coffee, sweets or raki; it is part of the welcome; avoid: Refusing flatly — take a little
  • Churches: Covered shoulders and knees; quiet voices; a small candle donation; avoid: Turning your back on the altar for photos during a service
  • Gestures: Wave with the palm turned towards yourself; avoid: The open palm pushed forward (moutza)
  • Conversation: Family, food and football are easy topics; avoid: Lecturing on the debt crisis, Türkiye or the name of North Macedonia
  • Dinner at a home: Bring pastries or wine; arrive a little late; avoid: Leaving food on the plate if you have been served more
  • Dress: Casual; long trousers or skirt for monasteries; avoid: Swimwear in town, shops and churches

Scams and watch-outs

  • Check opening hours of Cave Anemotripa (10:00–17:00).
  • Phone for Orizontes Tzoumerkon Hotel: +30 2659061002 (check availability).

Pramanta is low‑risk; main concerns are mountain weather changes and narrow roads—drive cautiously and carry a rain jacket.
