What is the best time of the year to travel to Greece ?
It depends on where you wish to go. The very best months to visit the islands are May, June, early July, late August, September and early October. Avoid the dates July 20th to August 20th what are busiest of 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 block. (I tend to bring one bottle and purchase another there.) 2. A hat that covers the face. 3. A great pair of sunglasses that block U.V. rays. 4. 2 teams of "day clothes" that are cool and comfortable. Can be shorts (nice) and a decent t-shirt. Ought to be cotton. A lot of women travelers wear sun skirts, but this may get you stared at. 5. some "evening" clothes that include pants along with a nice shirt. Your image is important. Also you wish to wear pants if you get into a major church. 6. Good walking shoes. Acropolis tended to be on high peaks (surprise surprise) and they generally have lots of rocks.
Many of the island villages have cobble stone streets.
7. Each day bag that you could have a 1.5 L bottle water in, your guide books, sun screen and towel in.
8. A good camera that you can hide in your wallet or bag.
I leave my expensive one in your own home. 9. 200 or speed film. All-purpose much of your pictures will be outside. May even get by with 100. 10. Helpful information book. 11. Toothbrush, razor, etc.
