Strong shoes are essential for discovering the ancient sites and
walking around historic towns and villages, which tend to have lots
of steps and cobbled, uneven streets. Footwear with ankle support
is preferable for trekking, although many visitors get by with trainers.
If you are going to trek a compass and a whistle could be essential
should you become lost or disorientated. A flashlight is not only
needed if you intend to explore caves, but comes in handy during
occasional power cuts.
In most places in Greece, water is not only potable but very refreshing
and clear.
You will need only light clothing - preferably cotton - during the
summer months. But if you are going to climb mountains, you will
need a sweater and waterproof jacket even in July and August.
During spring and autumn you will need a lighter sweater or jacket
in the evening. In winter take a heavy jacket or coat, warm sweater,
winter shoes or boots, and an umbrella.
In summer sunblock, sunhat and sunglasses are essential in order
to protect yourself from the strong sunlight and to avoid to get
sunburned.
Never forget to bring shoulder covered t-shirts and trousers or
long skirts in case you are interested in visiting churches and
monasteries. Especially women are not allowed to enter shrines and
holy places wearing only shorts, slippers and sleeveless shirts. |
