Food Tours and Cooking Classes in Greece
Thirty-four experiences in Athens, all rated 4.95. And a fact worth more than any of them: in Greece the cover charge is illegal, and the fine is 500 euros a head.
Start with the bill, because it is the thing that will affect every meal you eat here and almost nobody tells visitors about it. In Greece a restaurant may not charge you a cover. Not for the table, not for the cutlery, not for the napkins. It is written into the national trading rules, and the fine for doing it is 500 euros.
The same rules require that the price list is handed to you before you order and that the bill itemises every line. Knowing this changes the balance of a meal in a tourist quarter more than any recommendation could.
