Sunshine has a strong influence over people's behaviour. Greeks are famous all over the world for their hospitality. They are usually friendly and cheerful-for example, they're likely to smile at you in the street and say hello to a stranger. Always talkative and warm-hearted, Greek people enjoy having a good time and like to celebrate and organize social gatherings for any occasion. The fact that they can depend and rely on the sun, makes them optimistic and not anxious about their future. In general, people in Greece are more open than people that live in the Northern Europe.

Of course, too much sun can have disturbing results on people's behaviour as well. The Greeks, together with the Spanish and the Italians, are said to be the loudest people in the world. Greek people can be very rude and insulting and have a very short temper some times. That may be due to too much exposure to the sun's rays.

The sun is part of people's lives in Greece. We wouldn't exchange the hot sunny days of the summer with anything else in the world.
