What to Pack for Greece?

Greece, with its sun-drenched mainland and stunning islands, is a perennial favorite among travel editors. The feeling of wandering through pristine white villages, seeking tranquility by turquoise bays, or relaxing on terraces overlooking the Aegean Sea keeps drawing us back year after year. And let’s not even get started on the food—think hearty Greek salads, delicious mezze, and fresh seafood.

Who wouldn’t want to visit this paradise? From leisurely breakfasts to afternoons spent swimming, exploring charming harbor towns, and dining al fresco as the sunset paints the sky pink, Greece has it all. Below is a list of essentials that our editors never forget to bring along when visiting Greece—from Antiparos to Santorini, and off the beaten path to hidden gems like Tinos and Folegandros.

Essential Items

First and foremost, you’ll definitely want to pack a linen shirt. It’s perfect for throwing over your swimsuit and pairs beautifully with shorts or trousers for a stroll through town. For me, this is a must-have item for any summer trip in Europe.

A handy tip: I always carry Ancient and Brave electrolyte sachets in my carry-on to avoid dehydration after long flights. Feeling refreshed as soon as you land is simply wonderful!

Tips for Island Hopping

To make your trip to Antiparos even more memorable, I suggest staying at two fantastic hotels: The Rooster and Beach House. One offers a luxurious experience, while the other has a more intimate vibe, both rich in local culture. And don’t forget to check out Kalokéri—a tiny restaurant that’s absolutely worth a visit.

Every time I travel, I make sure to pack beautiful swimwear. I dream of having a vibrant Missoni bikini to blend in with the Aegean’s azure waters. It’s so liberating to just slip on a pair of sandals and flip-flops for a perfect island getaway.

Exploring Other Islands

When you reach Rhodes, you’ll find that each area offers its own unique experiences. This summer, I’m particularly excited about the Amoh hotel, a wellness-focused resort located on a secluded peninsula. Just last weekend, I enjoyed a fantastic stay at Amada Colossos Resort on Kallithea Beach, complete with a private sandy shore and stunning waters.

While you’re there, don’t miss Kallithea Springs, where the surrounding rocks and pines create a beautifully wild yet relaxing atmosphere. To elevate your outfits, I always bring along a few simple pieces of jewelry like gold bracelets or stacking rings. Adding a lovely maxi dress also enhances the charm.

Other Must-Have Items

If you love intriguing spaces filled with traditional tavernas and cliffs overlooking the Aegean Sea, make sure to spend some time in Folegandros. Every time I visit, I pack my favorite one-piece bikini from Hunza G to pair with my linen outfits when exploring the town.

And you can’t forget a good pair of noise-canceling headphones! They’re essential, especially if you encounter flight delays. They help me focus and stay comfortable during long journeys.

What to Do in Santorini?

No matter how famous Santorini is, it’s an experience that’s absolutely worth it. As the sun begins to set and the lights from the hotels start to twinkle, the atmosphere is simply magical. Evenings filled with rosy sunsets or days spent hopping from a cruise to the beach or pool all bring a sense of peace.

If you’re not staying at a hotel, be sure to make a reservation at Canaves Epitome for one evening—you definitely won’t regret it. The octopus bolognese with its secret spice blend was my favorite dish of the entire trip.

Ultimately, all these items are essentials for a trip to Greece. Prepare thoroughly for every step of your journey and savor every moment in one of the world’s most beautiful paradises!
