Do you tip taxis in Athens?
Unlike some countries, tipping taxi drivers in Greece isn’t mandatory. However, if you had a pleasant experience and want to show your appreciation, a small tip is always welcome. Here’s a common approach:
- Rounding Up: A simple way to show gratitude is to round your fare up to the nearest euro.
- Percentage Tip: If you prefer, a 5% to 10% tip added to your final bill is another option.
Ultimately, the decision to tip and the amount are entirely up to you.
