What is the best time of the year to go 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. Avoid the dates July 20th to August 20th which are the busiest of the tourist season, and late October since the weather gradually deteriorates.
If you wish to visit the Greek mainland, then March, April, May, June, September and October are suitable months. July and August are generally very warm and busy.
What should I bring. ?
1. Sun screen lotion, sun screen lotion and more sun screen lotion. (I tend to bring one bottle and buy another there.) 2. A hat that covers your face. 3. A great pair of sunglasses that block U.V. rays. 4. 2 sets of "day clothes" that are cool and comfy. Could be shorts (nice) along with a decent t-shirt. Should be cotton. A lot of women travelers wear sun skirts, but this might enable you to get stared at. 5. some "evening" clothes that include pants along with a nice shirt. How you look is essential. You also wish to wear pants should you get into a significant 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. A Day bag that you can carry a 1.5 L bottle of 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 at home. 9. 200 or speed film. All-purpose much of your pictures will be outside. May even manage with 100. 10. A guide book. 11. Toothbrush, razor, etc.
