Make sure you bring a dessert or small gift if youre invited to a Greek household

[dubai_suzie]

This is a very popular custom in Greece and you might come off as strange if you don't parcticiate. If you're invited to someones house, it is customary to bring dessert or a small gift to show your toes of appreciation for the fact that they're hosting you. It is likely that they will also offer you food, dessert or coffee as well. So don't be surprised if they do!

100%. This is common courtesy in Greece. I always take a cake or some little ice creams when I go to someone's house.

Is it mostly dessert that one gifts, or can you bring other things?
