Crossbody Bag or Purse- If you are bringing a purse to Greece, I recommend bringing a crossbody one. This way you can keep your belongings and important documents close to you while having your hands free. Be sure you get a lightweight one.

For travel, the safest purse to carry is one that you can keep close to your body. Whether that's a sling bag, a fanny pack, or a crossbody, look for a travel bag that will stay put when you're moving through bustling streets.
Purses are defined as a personal item. You can do one of two options at no additional cost: If the suitcase is also small enough to qualify as carry-on that will not be checked, you can stow the suitcase in the overhead bin, combine the purse into the backpack and stow the backpack under the seat in front of you.
Because your travel purse will be stored on the floor of the plane under the seat in front of you, avoid material that gets dirty easily and is difficult to clean. Leather and nylon are travel-friendly materials.
For shoes, sandals with an ankle strap and a sturdy sole are perfect. Heels are almost impossible to wear on the extremely hilly cobblestone streets. If you must bring heels, choose a pair of comfy wedges so you get a little more stability.
Budget-Friendly Travel PlanningPast travelers have spent, on average, €40 ($43) on meals for one day and €30 ($32) on local transportation. Also, the average hotel price in Greece for a couple is €148 ($159). So, a trip to Greece for two people for one week costs on average €2,173 ($2,330).
And then once you are on the plane, your carry-on bag can be stored in the overhead storage compartment but your purse can remain on your lap or under the seat in front of you for easy access to your food. You can generally bring any type of food on a plane without restrictions as long as it is a solid form of food.
While crossbodies are purses that are hard to pickpocket, make sure to keep them in front of you at all times when you're out and about. That way, you'll be able to see your valuables, no matter where you are!
Additional items you can take with youYour handbag, small backpack/rucksack, pocketbook or purse, as you would normally use it (in other words, not just being used to contain items that would otherwise be regarded as baggage). This must be small enough to fit under the seat in front of you.
The short answer: Yes, a backpack is generally considered a personal item if it fits under the seat in front of you. Most airlines offer a few examples of things that fit into the “personal item” category, such as a purse, laptop bag, or a briefcase, but they don't usually include “backpack” on those lists.
You can do both depending on the style of bag it is. A “handbag” is on that has handles or not that can only be carried. A bag that has either a shoulder strap or a “crossbody” strap can be worn.
All our fares include one small personal bag which can be brought on board, such as a handbag or laptop bag (40x20x25cm), which must fit under the seat in front of you.
As a general rule of thumb, backpacks will offer better support for your back than shoulder bags, and so if you're carrying heavier loads, or have a longer commute in your day, then a backpack is probably the best option for you.
Versatile, Light Weight and Neutral ClothingOpt 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.
Greece is a typical modern-day European country. The days of “traditional dress” are long since gone. On any day they wear what is in style / appropriate at any time for any occasion.
