Should I bring a jacket to Greece?

Make sure to bring a light sweater or jacket to keep warm on the patio of the taverna as you enjoy your spanakopita. A packable rain jacket can also come in handy if there's a big downpour. If you like to wear shorts, throw in a comfortable pair along with one or two more warm-weather tops.

Opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics such as linen, cotton, and silk. Pack mix-and-match pieces like neutral-colored shorts, skirts, and trousers that can be paired with different tops. Don't forget to include a few dresses for evenings out.

I think you've been misinformed there. Greeks wear jeans just as much as anywhere else. Normal rules apply - dress up for smart restaurants & churches etc, I'd say. Also, it gets awfully hot to wear jeans in Greece!

During the summer, the weather is most frequently sunny and dry, and any precipitation falls in the form of showers or thunderstorms from cumuliform clouds. The air is usually hot during the day and pleasantly warm at night, but there are some very windy days, especially in the Cyclades islands and around them.

For walking around town or exploring the island by land, anything loose and comfortable will do–shorts, tanks, rompers, or dresses. Don't bother with jeans or other heavy clothes. Athletic sandals are ideal for beach days since a lot of beaches require a bit of hiking or scrambling over rocks.

Greeks are very demonstrative and affectionate. Nodding your head yes is not polite; say yes instead. Yes is signified by a slight downward nod of the head; “no is a slight upward nod of the head. The “O.K.” sign is a rude gesture; thumbs up means O.K.

Backpack or Suitcase If you are going to an island after visiting Athens you might want a backpack as it will make walking to the ferry or your island hotel much easier since the sidewalks can be uneven on the islands as well as in Athens. I personally take a rolling suitcase on almost all longer trips.

It is acceptable to wear shorts, whether you are a woman or a man. However, NEVER (and I do mean NEVER) wear shorts if you want to visit a church or monastery. Also, if you plan to do a walking tour of Athens, ditch the shorts and opt for a dress – if you are a woman – or a pair of long pants – if you are a man.

For the evenings again keep it light and simple; lightweight Capri pants or skirt with a cotton shirt, or a sundress, all work well with flip flops.
