Local style + dress code
Acropolis paths get extremely slippery in rain. Marble cobbles polish to glass — wear grippy soles, NOT smooth-bottomed shoes.
Dress code: smart casual
Public holidays in Greece
Plan around national holidays — many businesses close, transport gets busier, and prices for flights/hotels can spike.
Money & currency
The Euro (EUR, symbol €) is the official currency. Live exchange rates are updated daily.
What to pack
Each city has month-by-month packing lists computed from local climate data — temperatures, rainfall, peak hazard seasons, and Greece's dress code.
