What is the best season to travel to Greece ?
It depends on in which you want to go. The very best months to go to the islands are May, June, early July, late August, September and early October. Steer clear of the dates July 20th to August 20th what are busiest from the tourist season, and late October since the weather gradually deteriorates.
If you want to visit the Greek mainland, then March, April, May, June, September and October are suitable months. July and August are both very warm and busy.
What should I bring. ?
1. Sun screen lotion, sun screen lotion and much more sun screen lotion. (I tend to bring one bottle and purchase another there.) 2. A hat that covers your face. 3. A good pair of sunglasses that block U.V. rays. 4. 2 sets of "day clothes" which are cool and comfy. Can be shorts (nice) and a decent t-shirt. Should be cotton. A lot of women travelers wear sun skirts, but this may enable you to get stared at. 5. a set of "evening" clothes that include pants and a nice shirt. Your image is essential. You also want to wear pants if you go into a significant church. 6. Good walking shoes. Acropolis tended to be on high peaks (surprise surprise) plus they generally have lots of rocks.
Most of the island villages have cobble stone streets.
7. A Day bag that you can carry a 1.5 L bottle water in, your guide books, sun screen and towel in.
8. A good camera that you could hide in your pocket or bag.
I leave my expensive one in your own home. 9. 200 or speed film. All purpose most of your pictures will be outside. Can even manage with 100. 10. Helpful information book. 11. Toothbrush, razor, etc.
