6Don’t underestimate the sun

The Greek sun is relentless and will cause you pretty extensive and heavy sunburns if you don’t respect it. Don’t sunbathe during midday hours and definitely don’t do so without ample amounts of strong sunscreen.

When you go out, opt for light colored, breathable, cotton or linen long sleeved garments that will keep you cool and protect you from the sun. Opt for a wide brimmed hat to shade your face.
