Dinner time while in Greece?
Dinner (Vradino in Greek).
Greeks eat really late when they are on vacation like after 8 o’clock at night and the tavernas can be full until 23:30 or later! If you go to a restaurant before 9 pm, most likely it will be empty.
Having said all the above, the advantage is that you can still enjoy an almost empty restaurant at 5, 6, 7, or 8 pm. This is the smart way and obviously the healthy way. Avoiding the crowds and the extra waiting to be served but enjoying the tranquility of the sunset.
While the Greeks are having their dinner, it is still good to be around and enjoy the magical Greek evening atmosphere and probably have a drink; again beating the Greeks to the bars.
