Greek Community
Is there a Greek community in Reading? If so, how do you say hello? While “coffee under pressure” is a well-known phrase, are there any other greetings or traditions to be aware of?

Yes, Reading does have a Greek community! To say hello in Greek, you can use “Γειά σου” (pronounced “Yia sou”) for informal situations. For a more formal greeting, you can say “Γειά σας” (pronounced “Yia sas”).
In addition to coffee, traditional Greek gatherings often include sharing food, especially pastries like baklava or spanakopita, and enjoying music and dance. If you’re looking to connect with the community, local Greek churches or cultural events might be a great place to start!
