Connecting in Greece - Con't

Remember, Greek hotels that do offer data ports are charging you, usually dearly, for the privilege. If you're from the U.S., be prepared for a shock. Most of the world is still on hourly rates for the Internet, plus phone connection charges. Cybercafes will charge less than hotels, usually about 2-4 Euro an hour. At cybercafes catering to young Greeks playing interactive games, the prices are much lower but the noise level is much higher.

Because of these higher charges, not everyone online is checking their email everyday, and response times may be much slower than what you're used to. For most within-Greece purposes, a phone call is still a surer, faster way of getting in touch with a business or hotel than email.
