Greece has become one of the prime holiday destinations in the world. I’d like to point out that travelers should pack the right outfits for summer, fall or autumn, winter and spring when visiting Greece (especially for Athens and Santorini which notorious for being extremely hot during summer). Summer is a popular time of the year to travel to Greece, especially for those looking to head to the beach.
However, it may take some time for you to put together the right outfits that you would like to wear. You should take some time to analyze the recommendations of fashion experts, who may be able to offer some advice on what to wear in Greece in summer, fall, winter an spring. Below are some of the fashion packing tips in which you’ll find lots of comfortable and fashionable travel outfits to choose from. They are all easy to pack, affordable and are of good quality.

Dresses
During my recent Greek summer vacation, I noted that dresses are certainly becoming trendier thanks to the many creative styles that are out in the market. Short dress and Maxi dress are the perfect outfits for girls and women heading to Athens and Santorini (the cultural hubs of the country). On my holiday, I mainly wore dresses such as the fitted and loose ones, as it was extremely hot and not only that it also perfectly matched with all the picturesque architecture. Most people will appreciate that they can shop for some of the newest styles in the outlet stores located in Athens, but I also suggest that you purchase some items in advance so you don’t need to worry once you get there.
Here are some of the dresses I wore while I was in Greece during my holiday this summer and these dresses can also be purchased through here. These are Dress 1, which is recommended for Greece as it’s 100% Polyester, machine washable and it has ruffle skirt and cross back straps allowing you to feel more of the breeze on your skin. Wearing this dress also allows you to get some tanning in while walking around Athens, Mykonos and Santorini as your arms, back and chest will be exposed to the sun.
Dress 2 is a fitted type of dress with neutral and black colour combinations. Its a slimming fitted bodycon with cotton blends. You can simply wear this dress during the day while soaking in the sun.
Dress 3 and Dress 4 are beautiful floral dresses perfect for summer in exotic Greece. Purchase these dresses if you want to look fabulous in a nice fitted, soft and elegant floral dress. These can easily be paired with any walking shoes such as flat sandals, ballet shoes and ecco shoes. And of course you can also wear them at night with your high heels while dining at a romantic Greek restaurant.
Dress 5 is a simple sleeveless black Maxi Dress with 50% polyester, 38% cotton and 12% rayon. This maxi dress is easy to fold and when worn allows you to feel the cool summer breeze through your body, while sightseeing.
Dress 6 is another maxi dress well suited for Santorini weather. This strapless chevron maxi dress is very comfortable, stretchy and it has a soft rayon material. It’s 54 inches in length and these are also available in different colours including turquoise and coral.
Dress 7 is such a beautiful bright peach dress by Dolce Vita Women’s Caliban. This dress is made of 100% polyester with open back string tie and V neckline front with dotted overlay. This dotted overlay peach dress goes perfectly well while standing in the Acropolis and the white and colorful pastel architecture of Santorini. Not only does this dress look fashionable but it’s also thin, airy and easy to pack in your carry on luggage. When I travel, I always try to match my outfit with the destination I am visiting for great photos and videos.
Blouses / Tops
I highly recommend that you shop for some stylish new blouses or tops that you can pack before you go on a holiday to Greece. This could actually be a great choice to improve your look. You’ll appreciate that there are blouses made from light textures, which are breathable. This could be the perfect choice for the hot and warm weather especially in Greece. Here are some of the best blouses or tops you could choose from to wear in Greece. These could be a great choice if you want to mix and match the look you desire. These tops are easy to match with pants, shorts and skirts and no doubt it will also match with any shoes. Top 1 is a Mango Women’s Double-Layer top chiffon with spaghetti straps, v-neck and pleated detail at front. It’s made of 100% polyester lining, easy to wash, very light, fashionable and most of all comfortable to wear in a hot and sunny weather. Top 2 is a Meilaier Women’s Fashion Backless Strap Tank Top mint green color perfect for summer in beautiful Greece. This top is absolutely gorgeous to match it with short denim pants ready to go sightseeing in Greece.
Pants
Wearing light pants and short pants in Greece are acceptabe especially during the summer season, as Greece can get very hot in June, July, August and September. It is important to pack the right types of pants when holidaying in Greece in summer. Most women would want to find out how they can improve their appearance in just a short amount of time as well. Therefore, choosing stylish pants will help women follow fashion trends and create a foundation for their look. Here are some of the best pants to wear while on a holiday in Greece. Pants 1 is a dinamit printed soft pants with elastic waistband, drawstring and front pockets. It’s made of 100% polyester, very light, soft and easy to pack in your carry on luggage. This soft pants is perfect for traveling and sightseeing as it’s comfortable and fashionable. It can easily be paired with any tank tops. Pants 2 is a hudson hampton denim short pants made of 64% tencel, 34% cotton and 2% elastine. I highly recommend packing a pair of short pants when traveling around Greece, as this country is extremely hot in summer especially Athens. You need to be able to wear short pants with your tank top while sightseeing and even walking up to the Acropolis.
Bikinis
There are some beautiful beaches in Santorini and I highly recommend you bring a pair of bikinis just in case you decide to swim at the beach. Here are some of the best bikinis to purchase that are made of different fabrics such as nylon, cotton and spandex. These bikinis are round padded and triangle shaped. Find out more by clicking Bikini 1, Bikini 2, Bikini 3 and Bikini 4
Sun Hats
Hats are essential travel accessories as they provide shade and prevent your mobile shopping processing unit from cooking when wearing them while touring around the city. Whenever I travel to Europe in summer time I always make sure that I carry a hat with me. Trust me on this you definitely need a hat while sightseeing around Greece and visiting the islands, as you don’t want to get a headache or sunburnt. Here are some of the best sun hats you should purchase before you travel to Greece. Hat 1 and Hat 2
Shoes / Sandals
I highly recommend wearing a very comfortable pair of shoes while walking around Athens, Mykonos and Santorini because in almost every place you go you’ll find yourself walking on slippery marbled stones and cobblestone streets and even the staircase. Preferably shoes with a strong grip it should prevent you from slipping and not have any problems all day long. When I was in Greece, I mostly wore my Ecco sandal and shoes as they are the most comfortable shoes to wear while walking all day long on slippery cobblestones and marbled stones footpaths. The Ecco sandal and shoes are genuine leather, non slippery, have rubber sole, flexible sole, good support and very durable. They also match with any outfit. Here are some of the best Ecco shoes you could purchase. ECCO Women’s Flash Quarter Strap Dress Sandal 1, Teva Women’s Capri Universal W Slide Sandal 2, ECCO Women’s Flash Hurache Dress Sandal 3, ECCO Women’s Breeze 3 Ankle-Strap Sandal 4, ECCO Women’s Babett Tie Walking Shoes 5 and ECCO Women’s Vibration II Togel Sneaker Shoes 6
I sincerely wish that you find this post useful. There are lots of wonderful sights to see in Greece and it is important that you look fabulous and comfortable at the same time whilst exploring. Granted you will find many great deals on clothing, shoes and bags (leather goods are especially good purchases) in Greece, it’s also great if you can look good doing it.
Have a great holiday and enjoy this amazing place filled with great sights, fantastic food and very fashionable people – one of them who is soon to be you 🙂

Thanks. This is so informative. I am heading to Santorini Greece next year around about late April or early May 2015. Do you think the weather in these months will be too hot? Should I be wearing summer clothes? I would love to know your suggestions. Many thanks.
Hi Angela, the temperatures around May in Santorini are quite high and the chance of rain is quite low and it’s also relatively quiet. May is actually a good time to visit Santorini as it’s not too extremely hot. I was there during the first week of July for 5 days and it was extremely hot. Yes you should be able to wear your summer outfits, as the average temperature will be 20-22 C. But be informed that it can get a bit chilly at night so I suggest you to carry some warm cardigans or sweater to keep you warm. Have fun.
