It's all pretty accurate. Much of what he covers has to do with things you would encounter if you go to places less frequented by visitors.
One omission- think about attire if you go to a religious shrine, monastery or church. You might be denied entrance if outfit is too revealing.

Thank you so much about the tip for the religious attire! I might visit churches and at least one monastery while there and I don't want to be disrespectful or not be permitted to enter.

I've recently developed a keen interest in Greek cuisine and I'm on a mission to incorporate more of its flavors into my daily cooking. Given the vast knowledge pool here, I thought this would be the perfect place to ask about must-have Greek pantry staples.
From what I gather, olive oil, olives, and feta cheese seem like obvious essentials. But I'm curious about the less obvious, yet equally important ingredients that could elevate my dishes with authentic Greek flavors.
Are there specific herbs, spices, or any other pantry items that are staples in Greek cooking? Additionally, if there are brands or types of these ingredients that you swear by, I'd love to hear about those too.
