What to do when you’re invited to a Greek persons house

[nadellii]

For those who aren’t Greek, there is a lot of etiquette that goes behind visiting peoples houses. First off, it is considered very normal to invite someone over to your house. You don’t need to know them very well, and it is considered a kind gesture. When you get invited to someone’s house, expect them to offer you food, desserts, or drinks. It is also expected for you to bring something. This can be desserts or wine usually. After you leave their house, it is also customary for you to invite them to your own house.

This is excellent advice! This is an important part of the culture for sure, and I always try to bring something to people's homes. I usually try to bring wine unless the hostess requests something.

I usually bring wine or a box of chocolates. Usually the hostess knows what she is serving (dessert included) and I have found that bringing food, unless requested, kind of stresses the hostess out. Hostess may have also picked a wine or two that pairs well with the meal. Chocolates and wine as a gift, though - she doesn't need to open them and can save them for later.
