Do you tip taxi drivers in Greece?

Short answer

Round up the fare

Round the fare up to the nearest euro or two.

OptionalCash preferred

Greek taxi drivers do not expect a percentage. Rounding up is the norm. For an airport transfer, help with heavy luggage or a long late-night run, an extra €2–5 is generous rather than expected. Metered fares in Athens legally include surcharges for airport trips and luggage, which are not tips.

In practice

  • A €18.20 fare → pay €20
  • A €55 airport transfer with bags → pay €60
