What To Pack For A Vacation To GREECE?

For those of you following me on social media, you already know that I’ve been vacationing in GREECE! Check back over the next week for new blog posts about my trip!

Packing for GREECE was a challenge because I was island hopping and experiencing many different types of activities. Without my kids, I was able to focus on ME time and enjoy the activities only for the adults. Take a look at the list below for what I brought to GREECE—and tips on what you can bring on your next Mediterranean adventure.

Don't Forget!

Don’t forget oversized sunnies and a light kimono

What’s in my bag?

  • Lululemon waist pack (in black, which is discreet enough for hiking, beach, and passports)
  • Comfortable sneakers for exercise, hiking
  • Flats with rubber bottoms for the ladies
  • Wedges for nighttime
  • For the gents at night: Toms, Tod’s, suede sneakers, or men’s leather espadrilles (Saks men’s collection)
  • Sunglasses
  • Hat
  • Sunscreen (minimum 50 SPF)
  • Sun protection for hair
  • Eye mask to sleep with (ladies)
  • Phone charger
  • Adapters for your electronics (don’t forget Greece has different outlet plugs)
  • Blow dryer, depending on your hotel
  • Hair ties
  • Tylenol/Advil for hangover
  • Vitamin C for the face
  • Baby powder (for sand on the beach)
  • Water shoes if you are going to be in the rocky sand
  • Light skirts + sun dresses
  • LOTS of White & Neutrals
  • CASH for Greek sandals! Why not? The leather is great, inexpensive, and made to walk up the cobblestones and stairs
  • Neck shawl for the ladies (at night it gets windy)
  • Collard button downs for the men at night
  • A good camera (not just the iPhone)
  • Light nap sack
  • Evening bag (such as a clutch) + white or nude beach bag
  • Pack your Meds in carry on just in case your flight delays
  • An extra copy of your passport
  • Hangover Kit
  • Sun Protector for your hair
  • A real Camera (Nikon)
  • Headbands
  • Anti nausea bracelets (if you are taking the ferry)

And finally, if you are island hopping, be sure to get a manicure in between islands! A French mani is my personal preference.

Bon Voyage!
