Yeah. Their sewerage pipes are too narrow for the paper.

yes the plumming is not very good its hard to get used to but like with all things that are hard to get used to, you will have totally got used to it by the time you leave so when you get home you keep throwing ther paper on the floor in your bathroom

Yep it's ture! But not half as bad as it sounds! If you're in a decent hotel the maids come everyday and empty it. Takes a bit of getting used to at first though and eberyone puts some down the loo! It's not like it floods everytime you do it! Don't worry about it! Greece is truly a lovely country! Have a good holiday!

My friend, all civilised Europeans use bins!!!!

kez

yes I'm afraid it's true, some toilet pipe are thin and it may cause them to block. also all the waste goes to a tank that has to be emptied often.

archivist_47

Yes, because their plumbing ain't great. But it's no hardship.

Not every race uses paper.In Malaysia the hung it over
a stream then wiped it with water.Some do it with a tin of water
in the UK

My grandmother used to tell us not to use toilet paper cause it's bed for the women's sensitive area and she said "TOILET PAPER IS FOR OUR GUESTS AND VISITORS".
A bidet looks like a toilet but has warm-water jets for personal hygiene after you use the toilet.
Older people had "bidets" in their bathrooms and so they only had toilet paper for their guests.
The bidet is a very common thing in Greek homes.

The answer to that is a simple YES, and if you don't put it in the bin it can cause serious and expensive damage, they are working on it to make things better, but it will be some time yet, YASAS.

yes, its bit gross at first but you get used to it. Greece is a lovely place to go

Tiamat

Yes that's true you have to put it in bins, their pipes are not large enough to take all the paper, they got blocked.

lance d

Yes do not put paper down as the pipes become blocked very easily and your room will not have have a pleasant odour,this is from experience.

yes i went to cyprus in august its not too bad but if you go to a dingy club or bar then its pretty god damn awful

Ancient spirit

Yes this is the way and it is considered very bad manner if you flush it in the toilet!
That's why bins invented in the first place, to dispose of your rubbish!

princess

yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, well i think so anyway...

richard_beckham2001

Yes it is true, we went to Greece this year and had to put it in to bins they provide.

xenos

YES, It's true and I dont know why it sounds so strange to you?
It's something very common in Greece and they consider it a bad habit when you throw it into the toillet. I dont know why, but I think that it's better for the sewage system and the toillets.

doll face

yes it is true, every where in greece you must do this. Theres nothing horrid about it, basicley the drainage pipes are much thiner that other places in europe. Theres always a special bid provided. You'll get used to it! and dont forget to do it or you'll cause a flood, which isnt very nice for the owners to clean up you crap! Thailands worse..belive me!

teddybear

dont know but want to see answers

nicola c

YES IT IS TRUE. ITS BECAUSE THE DRAINAGE IS NOT SO GOOD OVER THERE. BUT DONT LET IT PUT YOU OFF GOING ITS NOT AS BAD AS IT SOUNDS!

srracvuee

YES!!

The Greek toilets
One can wonder and one can be disgusted at the standard of the Greek toilets. Part of the explanation might be, that the Greek himself never uses a public toilet. A Greek will do almost whatever it takes, to use his own toilet! So you see,â€¦.it's mainly a problem for the tourist!

Lilac Lady

Yes this is true because they don't have a good sewage system. It's a bit pongy and embarrassing so make sure you take some diarrhoea tablets with you and if you feel you really need to you can get sanitary bags which smell nice, they would be with the feminine hygiene things in the shops.

Lilly

Yes true, and no it is not just a problem for the tourists, as locals are also unable to put loo paper into toilets at home. It is horrible, especially if they don't empty the little toilet paper bin regularly. Maybe not so bad for guys, but girls, when you sit down, you are generally face to face with that little bin, and often it does not have a lid!!!!! Still, its an improvement, Cyprus for example only got running water in 1960!!!

leonard c

Propably other middle coutries have the same hangup

zeggy

Yes and it disgusting when you go to a pub or club, it's all over the floor, you really have to watch where you are treading. The toilets also smell awful as well because of this!
