What are the most useful Greek phrases while traveling?

[nm1999]

Hey everyone, I just moved to Greece and I'm trying to learn as much Greek as possible. A lot of my friends aren't Greek though, so it's hard to keep up. I am planning on taking a few vacations to the islands in the summer...what are some phrases that I should know and use while traveling?

Phrases like "how do you say this in Greek," "do you speak English?" and "my Greek isn't very good" are always helpful to know.

Efharisto and a kalimera with a smile always do the trick.
Greeks just like everyone else always appreciate when someone does the effort...

I would stick to learning the polite basics - Please (parakalo) - Thank you (efharisto) - Hello (actually means good day, or good morning) - Kalimera. You can use a free app like duolingo, though, to teach you a bit more.
