Do you tip bartenders in Greece?

Short answer

€1–2 or round up

A euro or two per round, or round up the tab.

OptionalCash preferred

Bar tipping is casual. A euro on a round of drinks, or rounding the tab up at the end, is plenty. Cocktail bars in Athens and Mykonos see more tipping than a neighbourhood bar.

In practice

  • A €17 round of drinks → leave €20

Cash or card?

Card terminals sometimes offer a tip prompt, but cash left on the table is far more common and reaches staff more reliably.
