What's the best season 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 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 generally very warm and busy.
What should I bring. ?
1. Sun block, sun block and much more sun block. (I tend to bring one bottle and buy another there.) 2. A hat that covers the face. 3. A great pair of sunglasses that block U.V. rays. 4. 2 sets of "day clothes" which are cool and comfy. Can be shorts (nice) along with a decent t-shirt. Should be cotton. Many women travelers wear sun skirts, but this may get you stared at. 5. a set of "evening" clothes that include pants along with a nice shirt. Your image is essential. You also want to wear pants should you get into a major church. 6. Good walking shoes. Acropolis were rather on high peaks (surprise surprise) plus they tend to have a lot of rocks.
Many of the island villages have cobble stone streets.
7. A Day bag that you could carry a 1.5 L bottle water in, your best guide books, sunscreen and towel in.
8. A good camera that you can hide in your pocket or bag.
I leave my expensive one at home. 9. 200 or speed film. All purpose much of your pictures is going to be outside. Can even get by with 100. 10. A guide book. 11. Toothbrush, razor, etc.
