Colors of Samos Island - traditions, festivals, mentality and lifestyle

Greeks have a very impetuous temper. They wildly gesticulate, raise their voice and interrupt other people. They don’t do it intentionally, it is just the way they express themselves. When they want to signal «no». Greek people raise their eyebrows and their whole head upwards, while softly clicking with their tongue. It resembles a half-nod. When they want to say something, they touch or pat the lower lip with the index finger. A nod of the head with the right hand on the heart means «thank you».
