We talked with my sister in law who lived in Greece for a few years, she lived in Athens and Thessloniki. She taught us a little Greek and made it so fun for the kids, she wrote out all of our names and had the kids guess which one was theirs. My kids loved learning that everything closes down so everyone can take a nap.
