Northern Greece, Greece
Focus on lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, and rayon. Pack shorts, t-shirts, sundresses, and skirts. Temperatures are high, so comfort is prime. A Light scarf or shawl can offer sun protection during the day and proves useful for entering religious sites. Swimwear is, of course, a must.
Layers make for good choices during these months. Daytime temperatures are pleasant, but evenings can become cooler. Pack a mix of t-shirts and Long-sleeved shirts. Bring light sweaters, cardigans, or a Light jacket/Windbreaker for the evenings. Jeans or light trousers are comfortable alternatives to shorts. Swimwear remains relevant as the sea is still warm enough for swimming.
Comfortable walking sandals or well-broken-in Sneakers are ideal for towns, waterfront, and archaeological sites.
Flip-flops, slides, or beach sandals are perfect for beach access and poolside lounging.
For rugged terrain, choose sturdy Walking shoes or light hiking boots that give ankle support.
Careful organization of your travel documents brings peace of mind and simplifies your journey. Keep both physical and digital copies of everything important.
