And even lip balm and tissues. No luck with footwear though, I didn’t find any that seemed comfortable. I am currently managing in my house slippers and letting my blisters heal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pack-for-a-week-in-greece/page/2#post-2366873 Thu, 01 Aug 2024 12:51:43 +0000 Carol 2366873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A comfy heel with a bright pedicure, if you can pull it off. If not, perhaps some metallic strappy flats. Either of these would be for evening wear. I feel like even in the beachy parts of Europe, it's good to dress up a little for dinner.</p> <p>On the same subject, a smaller purse for dinner. It can be made of anything--beachy, even, like the one in your capsule. You just don't want to take too large of a purse to dinner. I also would avoid crossbody for evening, and would do a small shoulder bag, or something with handles you can hold.</p> <p>Finally, I never really understand how people wear sun hats. I adore them, but they always blow off my head, and I have to hold them all the time. A great canvas bucket hat, however, in a versatile color, covers it all.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pack-for-a-week-in-greece/page/2#post-2366870 Thu, 01 Aug 2024 12:38:01 +0000 anchie 2366870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hubby and me in wild </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pack-for-a-week-in-greece/page/2#post-2366867 Thu, 01 Aug 2024 12:24:20 +0000 Helena 2366867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to this but wishing you a wonderful trip!

I am building little blush capsule and moving towards light spring color palette.<br /> Zara blazer is actually the same color as H&amp;M blouse, photo color is not accurate. I am aslo adding little bit of this ligh turquoise/minty color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pack-for-a-week-in-greece/page/2#post-2366847 Thu, 01 Aug 2024 10:40:50 +0000 Sisi 2366847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The weather sounds wonderful.

Weather is much more bearable than in Vienna, it is less humid, about 5C cooler and there is a constant breeze.<br /> I bought everything in finds with my gift card and packed all except last 2 items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pack-for-a-week-in-greece#post-2366539 Sun, 28 Jul 2024 22:05:51 +0000 Minaminu 2366539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about a sarong or a kaftan? Something loose ad light when walking to the beach. Hope you'll have a lovely time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pack-for-a-week-in-greece#post-2366460 Sat, 27 Jul 2024 18:54:17 +0000 Theodora 2366460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a wonderful trip! &nbsp;I have lived in Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina and Florida, which are all in different latitudes. &nbsp;I have to say that 25-30 Celsius feels different depending on the latitude. &nbsp;Up north, while it might be the same “number”, it always <b>feels</b>&nbsp;cooler. &nbsp;Here in Florida, much warmer. &nbsp;I think because closer to sun/equator. &nbsp;I can wear shoes and sandals at 70 Fahrenheit in Florida, but need a sweater or jacket in NY. &nbsp;Greece would be more like Florida in that regard….</p> <p>Have a great time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pack-for-a-week-in-greece#post-2366351 Fri, 26 Jul 2024 10:37:31 +0000 anchie 2366351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sisi , you are onto something! Just remembered to compare UV index, and while here maximum is 7-8, there it will be 10-11. That makes the difference even though temperatures seem similar! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pack-for-a-week-in-greece#post-2366350 Fri, 26 Jul 2024 10:20:15 +0000 Sisi 2366350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A temperature around 30 degrees seems excellent to me. It is very likely that it will be also breezy, therefore very pleasant. But I remember that in Greece the sun was scorching!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pack-for-a-week-in-greece#post-2366348 Fri, 26 Jul 2024 10:12:22 +0000 anchie 2366348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been following weather forecast and temperatures seem very similar as here. Humidity also seems similar, but maybe it feels differently? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pack-for-a-week-in-greece#post-2366336 Thu, 25 Jul 2024 22:07:40 +0000 Aquamarine 2366336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonnie, my sister is in Greece now too and yes, she says it’s hot hot hot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pack-for-a-week-in-greece#post-2366335 Thu, 25 Jul 2024 22:06:39 +0000 Aquamarine 2366335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I keep a Foot Glide (like Body Glide) in my travel toiletry bag, having learned the hard way. I also keep blister bandages/bandaids in there too now.</p> <p>It really stinks when your footwear causes blisters while on vacation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pack-for-a-week-in-greece#post-2366330 Thu, 25 Jul 2024 18:44:57 +0000 Bonnie 2366330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My daughters are currently in Greece on vacation and in the photos they are posting they are wearing tanks and shorts because it is so hot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pack-for-a-week-in-greece#post-2366329 Thu, 25 Jul 2024 17:54:50 +0000 Anonymous 2366329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got my Body Glide at REI I never travel without it. &nbsp; &nbsp;I second the importance of taking road tested shoes. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pack-for-a-week-in-greece#post-2366317 Thu, 25 Jul 2024 16:16:53 +0000 Angie 2366317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was about to suggest the same things :)</p> <p>Don’t pack your new shoes without road testing them first! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pack-for-a-week-in-greece#post-2366315 Thu, 25 Jul 2024 15:42:33 +0000 anchie 2366315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary Beth - that is a great idea. I just bought variety of Compeed plasters to try to heal existing blisters before trip, but you reminded me that they also have a stick to prevent new ones. Will get this too, thanks!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pack-for-a-week-in-greece#post-2366313 Thu, 25 Jul 2024 15:19:50 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2366313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anchie, I'm so sorry to hear about your shoes!&nbsp; &nbsp;I haven't used it in ages, but some years ago, Angie recommended Body Glide, which looks like a deodorant stick, that is applied to the feet.&nbsp; &nbsp;I've used that for days of walking around cities and theme parks, and it worked like a charm!&nbsp; &nbsp;It looks as though it's available at Amazon, and most sporting goods stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pack-for-a-week-in-greece#post-2366302 Thu, 25 Jul 2024 06:04:07 +0000 anchie 2366302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - I currently have big problem with summer footwear, none of my pairs, both old and new is comfortable for longer walks and they are all giving me blisters. Even those that I could count on last year. Not sure what to do.</p> <p>Gold sandals arrived yesterday but they are already packed to go back. Haven’t decided yet about bag, it is smaller than expected. </p> <p>My shopping trip yesterday also didn’t go that well. High summer clothes are already on deep discount and picked over. I only got one linen shorts in H&amp;M and pants in Zara, but pants are not really vacation wear, more for the office, but I needed that too, I only have 2 summer pairs for work. I will probably try again over the weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pack-for-a-week-in-greece#post-2366262 Wed, 24 Jul 2024 15:30:56 +0000 Angie 2366262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote cover up for the sun during the day. Lots of people do! Makes sense. Skin baring at night works well - heat and shade.</p> <p>Make sure you read about my shoe surprise, <b>anchie</b>!!!
