15 Useful Things To Buy From Amazon Before Visiting Greece

Comfortable Walking Sandals or Sneakers

Greece involves a lot of walking on all kinds of different surfaces. Think cobblestones, marble steps, sun-drenched paths, uneven pavements and beach paths . You need Greece travel essentials that can handle ancient ruins and stylish strolls. Prioritise breathable, slip-resistant shoes that are broken in before you go.

These white trainers are comfortable and stylish enough to go with any outfit.

Modest Cover-Up or Lightweight Scarf

Some churches and monasteries (especially on islands like Meteora or even smaller towns) require modest dress. A scarf or kimono can double as a stylish layer and respectful cover-up. Definitely one of the most overlooked Amazon Greece must-haves.

This kimono cover up will work just great.

Anti-Theft Crossbody Bag or Neck Wallet

Greece is generally safe, but tourist areas can attract pickpockets. Keep your passport, cards, and cash secure in a bag that locks or a discreet neck pouch. It’s a smart addition to your Greece packing list.

This neck wallet will work really well.

Collapsible Water Bottle

Greek summers are hot, and hydration is key. A collapsible bottle saves space and keeps you from overpaying at kiosks. Essential for sightseeing days, hikes, or ferries.

This water bottle is stylish and folds down really well.

Travel-Sized Electrolytes or Hydration Packets

Heat + hiking + ouzo = dehydration risk. These tiny sachets help replenish lost electrolytes quickly, making them a go-to Amazon item for Greece.

I have found the taste of these dehydration packets quite pleasant

Plug Adapter for Greece (Type C or F)

Most of Greece uses standard European plugs (not UK style), so don’t forget a Type C or F adapter. It’s one of the most essential travel accessories for Greece trip prep.

This travel adaptor will work perfectly.

Portable Fan or Cooling Towel

Sightseeing in Athens in July? You’ll thank yourself for packing a little fan or a towel that cools instantly with water. A must-have for beating the Mediterranean heat.

These cooling towels are perfect and I love the idea of this neck cooling tube. This cooling neck fan is also perfect for the job.

Sunscreen and After-Sun Gel

The Greek sun is no joke, even in spring and autumn. Pack a reef-safe sunscreen (especially if you’re swimming) and a soothing aloe-based after-sun to recover.

I love this reef safe sunscreen and this aloe-vera gel has always worked well for me.

Packable Beach Towel or Turkish Towel

Many beaches don’t provide towels, and hotel ones aren’t ideal for day trips. A compact, fast-drying towel is a beach day lifesaver and worth its space in your bag. If you have never experienced a Turkish Towel you are in for a treat, they also make great shawls.

These Turkish Towels are perfect.

Motion Sickness Remedies (for ferries!)

Even if you think you’re fine on boats, the Aegean can get choppy. If your itinerary includes island hopping, add motion sickness options to your Amazon packing list for Greece.

These motion sickness patches work well.

Mini First Aid Kit

Long walks, new foods, and rocky terrain can lead to little hiccups. Include basics like plasters, pain relievers, antihistamines, and blister patches. It’s a no-brainer Greece travel essential.

This first aid kit has all the essentials and also looks nice.

Travel Laundry Kit (Detergent Sheets or Sink Stopper)

Especially helpful if you’re packing light or moving between islands. Wash a few things mid-trip and save space for souvenirs instead.

This laundry wash bag is great and this travel laundry detergent work great.

Stylish but Packable Hat

Keep cool and protected while still looking cute in vacation photos. A crush-proof hat is a smart choice for both city days and island lounging.

I love this travel hat and it comes in so many colours.

Small Travel Umbrella or Rain Jacket

Surprise rain showers can hit in spring or autumn, especially in northern Greece. A tiny umbrella or water-resistant jacket keeps you dry without taking up space.

This rain jacket packs really small.

Mini Power Bank

Between navigation, translation apps, and taking a million photos, your phone will drain fast. A small power bank is one of the best Amazon finds for Greece travel.

I love this power bank.
