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.
Cebu Business Pulse

- Pro Tip Standard business calls are best between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Cebuanos are exceptionally polite and friendly. The tech and BPO sectors operate on global schedules, but for local offices, stick to standard times. Avoid overly blunt language and maintain a warm, polite tone.
