Acropolis / Ancient Ruin Exploration: Exploring the ancient ruins is one of the major highlights of going to Greece. You’ll want to make sure you wear sneakers with good traction because the marble slabs can get extremely slippery. Also, wear something light, and bring a
hat because places like the Acropolis are in direct sunlight with little shade available.
Museums: The museums in Greece are air-conditioned, going from the heat to a cool building can give anyone the chills, so pack a long sleeve to throw on or a light jacket to help you adjust to the temperature change.
Exploring Plaka: Plaka is one of the most picturesque neighborhoods in Athens. The winding streets, cute cafes, and stores are all perfect places to explore while getting amazing photos for your Instagram. You’ll want to wear something cute yet comfortable, a midi-skirt and cute top is perfect. For guys a nice pair of shorts with a breathable top.
Mount Lycabettus: Don’t worry you won’t have to climb to the top of Mount Lycabettus in order to take in the incredible views overlooking Athens. You can take the gondola straight to the top. While you can wear whatever you’re comfortable in, the wind can get pretty chilly up there. A light pair of trousers with a top will keep you warm— but if you tend to run on the colder side, maybe throw a long sleeve shirt into your daypack just in case.
A night out in Psiri: Psiri is where the night comes alive in Athens. You’ll want to get dolled up for a night out in this neighborhood. A skirt and crop top or a maxi dress will work, just make sure whatever shoes you wear you can dance in. For guys, you can wear a pair of linen trousers with a button-down and boat shoes or sandals.
Going to the beach: If you’re going to head to the beach in Athens, you’ll want to make sure you have beach sandals — some of the beaches are pebbles and others are sand, but they all are hot on the toes. A fashion-forward swimsuit will help you fit in with the locals, but don’t forget your hat because the sun in Greece is not forgiving.
