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.
Cape Town Business Pulse
- Culture Slightly more relaxed than Jo'burg but professional. Creative and tech-focused.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM. Capetonians value their quality of life, so business often has a slightly more relaxed pace than in Johannesburg. Relationship building is important. Be mindful of potential "Load Shedding" (power outages) affecting connectivity.
