Time operates on its own magical schedule in Greece—a concept affectionately called “Greek time.” If someone promises to meet you at 5 p.m., don’t be surprised if they show up at 5:30, or maybe the next day, with a warm smile and an apology delivered over a strong cup of coffee. And who can complain? Greek coffee has an almost divine power to make you forget the ticking clock. Even ferry captains embrace this casual approach; your boat might be delayed simply because they’re savoring their espresso. In Greece, life isn’t a race—it’s a feast.
