Good to Know
Plan Inter-Island Transfers Carefully
Use high-speed ferries or short flights between Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini, and leave buffer time on transfer days in case of delays.
Dress Smart-Casual for Evenings
Many upscale restaurants and beach clubs in Greece expect smart-casual attire; light fabrics and stylish sandals or shoes are ideal.
Hydration and Shade Strategy
Carry a refillable water bottle and a light scarf or hat for shade, especially during mid-day visits to archaeological sites and markets.
Taxi and Ride Options
In Athens and on islands, taxis are plentiful; ask your hotel or restaurant to call one and confirm approximate fares before departure.
Local Dining Rhythm
Greeks often eat lunch later and dinner around 8–10 PM, so late meals are normal and restaurants stay lively into the night.
Respect Sacred and Historic Sites
At churches and monasteries, cover shoulders and avoid overly revealing clothing; never climb or sit on ancient ruins.
Use Hotel Concierges Heavily
Ask concierges to arrange restaurant reservations, private guides, yacht charters, and transfers a day or two in advance.
Connectivity Expectations
Wi‑Fi is common in hotels and many cafés; buy a local SIM or eSIM if you want navigation and ride-hailing without always relying on hotel networks.
