Tell them how much you appreciate the Greek history, culture and civilization. Praise ancient Greece and anything Greek related.
Oh, I would suggest you read a thing or two about modern Greek history, and try to focus on the current problems with other countries (Turkey, F.Y.R.O.M.). The best way to a Greek's heart is by stroking his patriotic ego.
Finally, get used to Greek food. Food is a very big thing in family gatherings, and traditionally, Greeks tend to stuff their guests -try to eat anything they put at your plate :).
Good luck

Appreciation comes with time - it is not manufactured upon request.
It is more important that you and your boyfriend appreciate each other.
My concern is that your boyfriend's family might view you the way their son views you when you are not around. But this is only a guess and could definitely be wrong. You will know the answer from the way your boyfriend treats you. Does he invite you to family functions or does he make excuses about having to go someplace with his family, like weddings, reunions, thanksgiving dinner, those type of important family functions - if you are excluded on most occassions, then maybe the relationship is not as deep or meaningful to your boyfriend as you expect or think. This does not mean that the relationship is dead or wrong. It may simply mean that you are expecting to be welcomed into his family too quickly. After all, you don't want to appear needy. That is a definite turnoff for anyone.
Trust your instincts and try to think clearly without the emotional nonsense that often burdens your age group.

They already know you, you seem them often so they must like you, its time for your boy to step up and take care of his girl and yes, that means letting his family know the truth. If you are as important to him as he is to you, then this shouldnt be a problem, good luck sweety!
