Do you still have to put toilet paper in the bin in Greece?

The biggest thing is to note is simply this: don't flush toilet paper down the loo. You will find there are bins to the side of the toilet where you can dispose of your tissue instead. The bins tend to have lids and foot pedals and are emptied at least once daily, so it's not as gruesome as it sounds.

Do You Pay for Public Bathrooms in Greece? Public restrooms in Greece cost money (around 50 cents).
