And it&#8217;s the former that we&#8217;re addressing today, although of course, the latter can also listen in! The Cretans are incredibly welcoming, smiling and even generous people, so today, together, we&#8217;re going to discover these 5 things not to do in Crete!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Toilet_paper_a_major_challenge\"><\/span>1. Toilet paper, a major challenge!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you need to know, and you can&#8217;t escape it, is the question of <strong>toilet paper<\/strong>. Yes, you read that right.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Crete, in some places and particularly in older housing,<strong> toilet paper is not flushed down the toilet, but into the garbage can next to<\/strong> it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why, you ask? The drainage system in Crete (and on some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/en\/the-greek-islands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Greek islands<\/a>) is not suited to dealing with toilet paper, and if you flush your paper down the toilet, you simply risk clogging it up. At first, this may seem confusing, even off-putting, but you&#8217;ll get used to it over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Is_haggling_an_insult\"><\/span>2. Is haggling an insult?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/marchander-crete-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18971\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/marchander-crete-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/marchander-crete-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/marchander-crete-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/marchander-crete.jpg 1129w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing to avoid is <strong>haggling over prices<\/strong>. In Crete, unlike some travel destinations where haggling is a cultural norm, it&#8217;s not appreciated at all.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cretans have been experiencing a severe economic crisis for the past ten years, making their financial situation precarious. They often work more than 80 hours a week for minimal pay, and are heavily taxed on their earnings.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you try to negotiate the price, you risk insulting them. If you feel that a price is unreasonable, it&#8217;s better to change location rather than try to negotiate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_The_power_of_a_tip\"><\/span>3. The power of a tip<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tipping is not obligatory, but let me explain why it&#8217;s a good idea to do so in Crete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cretans work very hard, often without rest, and rely heavily on tourism for their survival.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaving a tip, even a small one, is a way of acknowledging their hard work and showing your appreciation. It&#8217;s a gesture of friendship that the Cretans will certainly appreciate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1014\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pourboires-en-crete.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pourboires-en-crete.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pourboires-en-crete-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pourboires-en-crete-768x485.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1014px) 100vw, 1014px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially since, in restaurants for example, it&#8217;s very common to be offered both raki and dessert. A surprisingly generous local custom! So we&#8217;re counting on you to return the favor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Gestures_and_signs_of_respect\"><\/span>4. Gestures and signs of respect<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When crossing the road in Crete and a driver stops to let you pass, avoid raising your hand in thanks. It may sound strange, but in Crete, this gesture is perceived as an insult.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s best to give them a nod or a thumbs-up to express your gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Water_a_precious_resource\"><\/span>5. Water, a precious resource<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Crete is facing a serious drought problem, and <strong>saving water<\/strong> is a major concern. In your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/en\/hotels-heraklion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hotel in Heraklion<\/a> or elsewhere or your accommodation, be aware of your water use. Don&#8217;t leave the tap running unnecessarily, and take quick showers. It may seem like a small gesture, but if every tourist does the same, it can make a big difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add to this the fact that tap water in Crete is not drinkable. It&#8217;s best to buy bottled water to drink. It&#8217;s a simple precaution to take to avoid any health problems during your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_a_nutshell\"><\/span>In a nutshell!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting Crete is an incredible experience. The Cretans are a friendly and welcoming people, and the island is simply beautiful. However, it&#8217;s important to respect local customs and show consideration for the challenges faced by the Cretans. After all, mutual respect is an essential part of any travel experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So remember, don&#8217;t flush your toilet paper down the toilet, don&#8217;t haggle over prices, leave a tip, be respectful with your gestures and save water. These simple gestures can help make your stay in Crete even more enjoyable and unforgettable.
