The best packing lists for Athens

Athens is walked, and walked uphill. The Acropolis, the Areopagus, Philopappos and Lycabettus are worn limestone and marble that goes slick under dust as readily as under rain. Smooth soles are the wrong choice here.

Good to know for Athens

From June to September the heat sits between the concrete blocks deep into the night, and there is not one tree on the Acropolis rock. Winter means rain, wind and flats heated less than the latitude implies, so one warm layer belongs in a February bag as well.

Tap water comes from the Mornos reservoir and is safe to drink; a refillable bottle spares you the carrying. Euros, cards almost everywhere, small notes for the kiosk and the metro. Your charger needs nothing extra.

Monasteries such as Kaisariani and Daphni turn away vest tops and shorts. A thin scarf in the day pack settles it.

Public packing lists, best rated first. Ratings and copies by other travellers decide the order.
