packing list
this will be updated closer to our trip, but you'll get the gist of what you'll need below!
do you think you can pack for a week in a carry on? i bet you can! bringing a carry on makes getting in and out of the airport easier, makes unpacking + repacking easier, and removes the worry about lost luggage! let's see how creative you can be simple outfits you can mix + match throughout the week. worried about shopping and not having enough room? maybe pack a duffel for more space the way home! (this isn't a requirement, just suggestion)
the dress code in greece is euro casual -- shorts, skirts, tees + tanks for the daytime, and think casual dressy for dinners. consider a light layer for our morning practices and evenings, as well as boat afternoon, as early summer in europe can still be a little cooler.
what to bring:
-
a white outfit for our final evening together
-
t-shirts + tanks
-
shorts + light // linen pants
-
dresses
-
light long sleeve shirt or sweater for layering
-
comfortable sandals // flip flops
-
comfortable and sturdy tennis shoes
-
undergarments
-
pyjamas + loungewear
-
nice but casual outfits for dinners out
-
sarong or scarf for cover up or extra warmth in the evenings
-
water bottle
-
yoga leggings // bottoms (2-3)
-
yoga tops (2-3)
-
bathing suits
-
sunscreen + sunnies
-
hat
-
personal toiletries
-
chargers for electronics (euro converter needed)
-
a little bit of cash --> cards are accepted most places, and you can certainly get euros from an atm. keep in mind you might want a bit of cash for tips
-
day bag // belt bag
when in doubt, pack smart, comfortable, and simple!
