In Greece, they say ‘philoxenia’ and it means ‘friend of strangers.’ Being hospitable has been ingrained in Greek culture since time immemorial that’s why visiting here always means a warm welcome and even warmer smiles. The country is so hospitable they have their own concept for it. Experience “Xenia” and be amazed at how the locals go the extra mile to make you and your guests feel at home.
