A Few Things About Greece

 

Preparing for your holidays in Greece

Preparing for your holidays in Greece is fun and easy. The warm hospitality of the Greek people, the easy-going atmosphere, the increasingly well-organized transport system and the fact that you will find pretty much everything you may forget to bring in the shops, make packing and organizing a piece of cake. If you come for summer holidays in Greece, I tend to say bring your favourite pieces of clothing (keep it light, but do bring something a little warmer for the evening – you may need it once or twice), your favourite book and pareo (the ideal beach accessory, or buy one on the spot), a hat, a pair of flip-flops and walking shoes, and you are pretty much set. No need for vaccinations. No need to carry sunscreen and insect repellents – you can find them all on the spot. If you come for off-season vacations to Greece, bring warmer clothes, especially if you go to the mountains. Greek winters tend to come with blue skies and nice crisp weather, but it can sometimes be cold. There are days with heavy rainfall (but you never get that northern European endless gray and drizzle) and periods with snow.
