Pack List for Trip to Greece in Spring

[redsoxdw_]

I have a trip to Greece planned in the spring. Mainly, I want advice on the weather. In the meantime, I made my best guess and came up with a list. Anything to add or subtract?

Clothing

• A light rain jacket or windbreaker: For the inevitable April showers
• A couple of long-sleeve shirts: For those cooler mornings
• A lightweight sweater: For layering when temperature changes
• A pair of comfortable pants: Think breathable fabrics like cotton, and a pair of jeans.
• Shorts and a sundress: For warmer afternoons
• Comfortable walking shoes: You’ll be exploring villages and ancient ruins, so cushioned soles are a must.

Accessories

• A versatile scarf: Can double as a shawl on cooler evenings
• A wide-brimmed hat: For sun protection
• Sunglasses and sunscreen: Essential for beach days
• Reusable water bottle: To stay hydrated without contributing more waste

I am going to Greece this year in the fall but the weather is still nice. Here's what I am packing:

• Clothing: I'm aiming for versatile and comfortable. Lightweight clothes that can be layered are a must. Think linen shirts, flowy skirts, and breathable tops. Of course, I'll include a few pairs of shorts and tees for warm days, as well as a light jacket for cooler evenings. If I were on Crete I wouldn't need it, but I'll be on the mainland most of the trip.
• Footwear: Comfortable walking shoes are non-negotiable, as I plan to explore the ancient ruins and charming streets. I'll also pack a pair of sandals for the beach and a nicer pair for evenings out.
• Travel Adapters: To ensure I can charge all my devices, I've bought a couple of travel adapters that are compatible with Greek outlets. I forgot these once and it was hard finding a store where I was!
• Sunscreen: I am not sure how many beach days I will have, but I am bringing sunscreen just in case.

Planning a trip to Greece in the spring sounds amazing! I’ve been there a couple of times, and trust me, you’re going to love it. Here’s a little list of must-haves based on my experiences:

Clothes: Pack light layers since the weather can be a bit unpredictable. Think T-shirts, a couple of long-sleeve shirts, and a light jacket or sweater. Don’t forget comfortable walking shoes – you'll be exploring places like The DOM and those cobblestone streets can be tricky.
Sun Protection: Even in spring, the sun can be pretty strong. Bring sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen.

You don’t want to end up looking like a lobster on day one! Toiletries: The usual stuff, but also pack some travel-sized hand sanitizer and tissues. Public restrooms might not always be stocked. Most importantly, leave a bit of room in your bag for souvenirs. You’ll want to bring a piece of Greece back with you.
