Here are some FAQ’s, Tips and recommendations for you to maximize your Greece trip!

1. Pack light and comfortable clothing. The weather in Greece can be hot, especially during the summer months. Pack light, breathable clothing, comfortable shoes for walking, and swimwear. We encourage you to also wear light colors during the wedding as it will be outdoors.

2. Learn a few basic Greek phrases. While many people in Greece speak English, learning a few basic phrases like "hello" (yasou), "thank you" (efharisto), and "excuse me" (parakalo) can enhance your experience and show respect for the local culture.

3. Be prepared for siesta time. Many businesses in Greece close for a few hours in the afternoon for siesta, especially during the hot summer months. Plan your activities accordingly and take advantage of this time to relax or explore less crowded areas.

4. Embrace the Greek lifestyle. Greeks are known for their relaxed and friendly approach to life. Embrace the local culture by enjoying leisurely meals, taking time to savor your experiences, and engaging in conversations.

5. Explore beyond the wedding location. If you have time, consider exploring other parts of Greece beyond the wedding venue. Greece has a rich history and culture, with numerous ancient sites, museums, and beautiful islands to discover.

6. Stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun. The Greek sun can be intense, especially during the summer. Drink plenty of water, use sunscreen, wear a hat, and seek shade during the hottest parts of the day.

7. Exchange currency before you go or use an ATM upon arrival: While credit cards are accepted in many places, it's always good to have some Euros on hand for smaller purchases, tips, and local markets. ATMs are readily available, but check with your bank about international transaction fees.

8. Inform your bank and cell phone provider of your travel dates: This will prevent your cards from being blocked due to suspicious activity and allow you to use your phone internationally (check your international roaming plan or consider a local SIM card).

9. Passport & Visas: YES you will need a passport to travel to Greece that is NOT expiring within 6 months…don’t pull an Andres. You do not need a Visa to enter into Greece. If you plan to visit other countries please check those countries requirements too.

10. Purchasing water in Greece: There is a maximum Euro amount stores can charge you for bottled water (depending on bottle size). It’s rather inexpensive so don’t get tricked as a tourist.
