Athens Business Pulse
- Culture Sociable and relationship-heavy. Business often involves lively discussion.
- Lunch Break 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The best window for calls is 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. Avoid calling between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM (the "siesta" or lunch period). Greeks value personal rapport and hospitality; business deals are often sealed over long meals or social gatherings. Be prepared for a warm and expressive communication style.
Cairo Business Pulse
- Culture Traditional and relationship-heavy. Appointments are necessary but often fluid in timing.
- Lunch Break 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM.
- Pro Tip The work week is Sunday through Thursday. Friday and Saturday are the weekend. Call between 11:00 AM and 2:30 PM. During Ramadan, business hours shift significantly (usually starting later and ending mid-afternoon); check local times carefully during this period.
