Order like a table of Greeks: shared plates, and skip the tourist taverna

Greeks order a spread for the table, not one main each: a horiatiki salad, dips, grilled vegetables, a plate of fish or meat, and bread, all shared. A taverna with a host outside waving menus is one to walk past; the good ones are full of families and have a short, handwritten menu. Fish is priced by the kilo, so ask the weight and price before it's cooked. Tipping is a few euros, not a percentage.
