Know what to wear (and pack accordingly)

You really don’t want to drag too many suitcases around and realize you didn’t even need half the clothes, do you? So do a little bit of research. Whether your goal is not to look like a tourist – although when the camera comes out you are busted anyway – or you just want to make sure you are not bringing the entire closet with you, knowing some things about how the locals dress and what’s the weather like in Greece both during summer and winter is the least you can do to plan a worry-free vacation.

Considering Travel Insurance

Buying travel insurance when traveling to Greece is probably the last thing on your budget…if you are among those who actually consider buying such a service. European Union nationals don’t need to worry about purchasing travel medical insurance, but what about the case when the flight the gets canceled?

Don’t get us wrong though. Greece is not a dangerous place to visit. However, earthquakes take place here quite frequently, ferries and flights do get canceled and if you consider doing some risky activities (eg. climbing) you might want to be protected if anything bad happens. Plus, travel insurance is downright cheap nowadays.
