Visiting Churches in Greece

[voula_slat]

I can't remember if there is a dress code for visiting churches in Greece. I know in monasteries they tend to be stricter, but many have skirts or scarves you can borrow at the door.

If I wanted to attend a church service or simply visit a church or monastery, how is it that I would need to dress? Is it okay for women to wear pants?

A dress or a skirt would be more preferable. Also avoid sleeveless shirts.

I will have to keep this in mind before I visit. Thank you!

There is. It's better to wear a skirt on your own but in places where it's really super important, they had some skirts hanging up on hooks that you could borrow before walking in. They're sort of designed like aprons and you just tie it on over your clothes.
