PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

What to bring:

Valid Passport

Power Adapter for plugs + chargers

Refillable water bottle

Small backpack/tote bag or whatever you use to carry when on foot

Footwear: we suggest a good walking shoe/boot : lots of miles will be walked. Sometimes we will be in unpaved terrain and do suggest a supportive boot with good traction.

Good pair of flip flops or water shoes/sandals. For when we go to the rivers, hot springs or the beach.

Cutlery(fork/spoon/knife), chopsticks etc **Might sound silly, but from experience, we tend to buy something at a market + want to snack in the van or room, or when we’re sitting at the beach and NOW you’ll be prepared PLUS we are REDUCING waste, which is a goal for us, our footprint must be light. Great to have for take away, and on the road.

Headlamp/flashlight

Bathing Suit + Beach Towel

Toiletries (Shampoo, soap etc) **highly suggest biodegradable options, most drain lines go right to wild waterways!

Warm clothing! Pants, leggings and layers! Wool Socks! **Layering will be your best friend. During the day we can get temperatures at 80F+ and above and then it can dip down to almost freezing in the mountains at night. If you’re trying to pack small and light, there are cheap markets with clothing in Athens + Thessaloniki.

Raincoat/Poncho

Gloves, hat, scarf (whatever you need to feel warm)

Pocket knife, foraging knife/snippers (if you’re checking your luggage)

Sun protection ie, glasses, sunscreen, baseball hat etc

Notebook or something to take notes with

Suggested but not necessary :

Walking sticks

Sleeping Aids you might need, earplugs, white noise machine etc

Hand lens

Camera (besides your phone)

Collapsible Tupperware, tackleboxes (to keep specimens, dried herbs, bring home take out + more)

Field Guides for the Region, Trees, plants, mushrooms, herbs etc

Travel tips, what to expect & what to bring

We want to help folks be as prepared as possible. While saving you the head ache to figure it out on your own.

Make sure your passport is up to date, and isn’t going to expire within 6 months of the trip. I have seen people denied at the check in for their flight because the passport is almost expired. Don’t let them stop you! Get your passport!

Bring CASH to exchange or have it already! Greece uses the EURO. While cards and ATMS are around, when we are in more rural areas, CASH is preferred. We suggest asking your bank ahead of your trip to make an exchange for you, to give you best rates and potentially no fees.

How much should you bring?‍ ‍While room + board are included, we suggest supporting the local shops and artists. We suggest having at least 200-1000EURO on hand and your debit card(which has the best rates for exchanges)

PLEASE NO FRAGRANCES! Our crew + often other travelers are sensitive to artificial scents and smells. If you have any questions please contact us.

NO TOILET PAPER IN THE TOILETS. Yea, its a thing here and most of the world where toilet paper doesnt get thrown into the toilet and gets put into a trash can instead. Try practicing at home LOL to get into the rhythm :)
