![]() Planning a trip to the land of ancient wonders, stunning islands, and mouthwatering cuisine? As your trusted travel advisor at Sunlit Travel, I'm here to ensure you have everything you need for an unforgettable journey through Greece. From must-have gadgets to invaluable travel tips, here are our top 10 travel essentials to pack for your next Greek adventure: 1. Currency and Card Considerations The official currency in Greece is the Euro (€). I recommend carrying a mix of cash and cards for your trip: • Notify your bank and credit card companies that you'll be traveling to Greece to avoid any issues with your cards being declined. • Carry some cash in Euros for small purchases, tips, and incidentals. ATMs are widely available, but you may have to pay foreign transaction fees. • If you don't already have one, consider getting a credit card with no foreign transaction fees to use while away. 2. Power Adapter and Converter Greece uses the European-style two-pin plugs, so you'll need a universal travel adapter to charge your electronics. We also recommend packing a power converter if you have any devices that don't support the 220-240V electrical system in Greece. • A multi-port USB adapter is a great option to charge multiple devices at once. • Don't forget to pack any necessary charging cables for your phone, camera, laptop, etc. 3. Portable Charger and Power Bank Keep your devices powered up with a high-capacity power bank. This will come in handy when you're out exploring and need to recharge your phone, camera, or other electronics. 4. Photocopies and Digital Backups Make copies of your important documents, such as your passport, ID, and travel insurance, and keep them separate from the originals. It's also a good idea to have digital backups stored in the cloud or on your phone. 5. Comfortable Clothing and Versatile Layers Greece has a Mediterranean climate, so pack breathable, comfortable clothing that can be layered. Don't forget: • Lightweight, moisture-wicking tops and pants • A light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings • Comfortable walking shoes and sandals • Sun protection like hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen 6. Small Daypack or Crossbody Bag Carry your essentials while sightseeing with a comfortable and versatile daypack or crossbody bag. 7. Travel-Sized Toiletries To avoid exceeding airline liquid restrictions, pack travel-sized versions of your essential toiletries, such as: • Toothpaste, toothbrush, and floss • Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash • Deodorant, contact lens solution, and any necessary medications 8. Travel Insurance Travel insurance is a must-have for any trip to Greece. It can provide coverage for trip cancellations or delays, medical emergencies, lost or stolen luggage, and more. At Sunlit Travel, we're happy to provide recommendations for reputable travel insurance providers. 9. Reusable Water Bottle Stay hydrated throughout your Greek adventure with a reusable water bottle. This will help you reduce plastic waste and save money on bottled water. 10. Greece-Specific Essentials Finally, don't forget these Greece-specific items: • Swimsuit and beach gear for exploring the beautiful Greek islands • A lightweight, quick-drying towel for beach days • A small daypack or crossbody bag for carrying essentials while sightseeing By packing these travel essentials, you'll be well-prepared to navigate Greece with confidence and ease. Remember, at Sunlit Travel, we're here to provide personalized guidance and support throughout your journey. Let us know if you have any other questions as you plan your Greek adventure!
