Packing List

I learned what to pack for Athens the hard way — specifically, by wearing brand-new leather sandals to the Acropolis on a 37°C day. By noon I had blisters on both feet and was sliding around on marble like a newborn deer. Don’t be me. Athens isn’t your typical European city for packing. Between the slippery ancient marble, scorching summer heat, and the fact that Greeks somehow always look effortlessly put-together, your suitcase choices actually matter here. Let me save you the mistakes I made.
