Top Greek Phrases to Know for Greece Trip

[cubrinj]

In an ideal world, I would be proficient in the Greek language ahead of my trip. Sadly, for me that takes a long time. Even though I started studying Greek and have been consistent, I am not where I want to be.

I am trying to decide on twenty of the most important phrases/ words to get comfortable with ahead of my trip, which is coming up.

Ευχαριστώ - Thank you
Παρακαλώ - Please
Ναί - Yes
όχι - No
Συγνώμη - Sorry
Το λογαριασμό παρακαλώ - The bill, please

I know these seem really basic but I am a bit gun shy when speaking other languages, and I really need to practice a lot. What else should I add to the list?

Learn how to order food and ask for directions and pick some phrases from there such as

"Που είναι το μέτρο;" (where is the metro?) or "θέλω ένα γύρο χοιρινό χωρίς ντομάτα και μια coca cola" (I want a pork gyros without tomato and a coca cola)

At some point you will need to really immerse yourself in Greek by doing a fee things: watching movies in Greek, finding native Greek speakers to practice Greek with.
