☀️ Quick Climate Tips for the Greek Islands

• 🌞 Hot & Dry Summers: Think 30°C+ in July & August—sunscreen is non-negotiable.
• 🌬️ Evenings Can Get Breezy: Especially in cliffside towns like Oia or hilltop villages in Naxos.
• 🧥 AC Isn’t Always a Given: Pack a light sleep layer for those minimalist boutique stays.

---

🚨 Don’t Forget These!

These items were non-negotiables during our trip:

✅ Passport + Travel Insurance
✅ Beach tote + stylish sunhat
✅ Sandals you can walk in all day
✅ Water shoes for rocky beaches
✅ Reusable water bottle + Electrolytes
✅ Daypack or crossbody bag
✅ Scarf or wrap for evening chill or churches

👗 Island Style Tips

Greek island fashion is effortlessly chic. Think:

• Flowy dresses and linen sets
• Gold jewellery and hair scarves
• Neutrals or soft pastels that match those Cycladic blues and whites

Pro Tip: Save the heels for home—those cobblestone streets are ankle-breakers. A cute pair of flat sandals or espadrilles will go with everything.

We booked all our ferries between Santorini, Naxos, Paros, and Athens with Ferryhopper, and it made island-hopping a total breeze. The platform is easy to use, prices are transparent, and we loved having all our tickets in one place—no printing necessary.
