I was in Greece in July, and while the islands and beaches were tolerable, Athens was excruciating! I was at the top of the acropolis when they actually decided to shut down because it was so hot (and we went early).
one thing i would add is comfortable breathable shoes as well as clothes, because you can get terrible blisters, especially if you’re not used to walking all day.
also European nightlife is the best, so it just adds to the reasons to sleep midday and stay out late!
Thank you for sharing your experience and your tip about the breathable shoes is spot on! Not only they protect from blisters but they also keep your feed free from sweat and smelling bad!
Love reading realistic tips! My favorite is dress for the forecast, not Instagram. This couldn't be more true!
Thanks for reading 😊
yes to all of this!

Portable fans and cooling towels saved me last summer in Amalfi. Ouch.
Ah yes, love my portable fan and don't go anywhere without it!
