Smoking

Smoking indoors was fairly common in Greece until late 2019. Despite the fact that the anti-smoking law took effect in 2010, it was not frequently enforced in bars, cafes, and restaurants. Smoking is permitted, according to this antique notice.

Smoking is reported to be practiced by approximately 50% of Greeks, which can be quite irritating to non-smokers. While smoking is prohibited indoors, it is nonetheless normal to enter a café or restaurant where people smoke, despite the fact that many new establishments are following the rule. However, there isn't much that can be done about outdoor smoking.

The anti-smoking rule was implemented and taken seriously in late 2019. However, not every place you visit will be smoke-free. In specified open-air sections of coffee shops and restaurants, smoking is permitted. With very few exclusions, it is also permitted in outdoor venues such as parks, beaches, and outdoor cinemas.

In any event, if you visit Greece in the summer, smoking should not be a problem. Just stay away from smokers and enjoy the beautiful weather.
