• Dress — Shoulders and knees must be covered in temples (sarong provided or bring light scarf/long pants/skirt). Remove shoes before entering temple buildings.
• Behaviour — Never step on offerings (canang sari); walk clockwise around temples; do not point feet at people or sacred objects. Avoid public displays of affection in sacred sites.
• Temples & Offerings — Ask permission before photographing people/ceremonies; small donations appreciated. Women during menstruation traditionally avoid temples.
• Advice — Say “terima kasih” (thank you); smile — it’s part of Balinese culture. Adopt eco-friendly habits (reusable bottle $4) to support sustainable Bali Travel. Tony Bùi notes: “In 20 years guiding, I’ve seen respectful Greek travellers flourish in Bali’s spiritual sites.”

General Advice:

• Language — “Terima kasih” (thank you), “selamat pagi” (good morning); English widely spoken in tourist areas.
• Respect — Follow temple rules strictly; support local vendors fairly; avoid touching heads.
• Navigation — Use offline maps (Maps.me) with “Ubud”, “Seminyak”, “Nusa Penida”.
