 Please stick to just one checked bag, a purse, and maybe a small weekender for your trip to Athens. Greece is easy to get around, but transfer vehicles and flight space can be tight for the islands. Plus, who wants to haul around heavy luggage? Just bring some lightweight clothes, comfy shoes, a couple of nice outfits, and your swimsuit!
