What to Pack

Please pack converters compatible with European outlets for your electronics. If you plan to use something with high voltage, consider bringing an adapter. Affordable converters and adapters can be found online at amazon.com. Ensure that your passport will still be valid in 2019. We encourage everyone to make color copies and keep them in different pieces of luggage in the case that your passport is lost or stolen. Bring a travel size towel, or plan to purchase one in town when you arrive. Pack lightweight clothing items that breathe easily. It will be very hot and humid during the day and cooler at night. We encourage everyone to bring lots of layers, sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, and swim suits.

Flight Tips

- Statistically, booking a round-trip ticket is more affordable than a one-way ticket. - Consider flying into a major city overseas (London, Paris, Amsterdam, Athens, etc.) and then take a connecting flight directly to Santorini. - Flights from one European country to another are very affordable so consider extending your vacation to include travel plans before or after the wedding
