Where has everyone gone?
Have you ever heard of the Mediterranean siesta? If not, chances are you weren’t born in this sun-kissed part of the world! Perhaps it’s the intense summer heat, or the demands of manual labor under a blazing sun, but in Greece, as in many Mediterranean countries, people pause their day after 3 p.m. to enjoy a leisurely lunch, a bit of rest, or even a rejuvenating nap.
You may notice shops, cafés, and restaurants closing their doors during these midday hours. We suggest you respect this traditional quiet time, after all, no one likes being woken from their afternoon slumber!
