Packing for Greece
Summers in Greece are usually hot and dry, particularly in July and August when temperatures reach 35°C. There is some respite on the islands where cooling and refreshing winds are not uncommon. Suncream, sunglasses and a hat are essentials, and it’s also worth having some long-sleeved shirts to cover up your arms. The winters are cold and wet especially in the north and snow, although rare, is not out of the question in the mountainous regions. The Greek islands in the south enjoy much milder winters. Fleeces, waterproofs and heavyset boots are recommended when travelling to Greece outside of summer.
Ship your bike to Greece
Some of the best mountain biking in Greece is on the outskirts of Athens. Parnitha National Park has a series of marked trails for all levels of bikers and the Varibobi, Pentedli and Dionisos regions are also popular too. For road cyclists, the Peloponnese route is an eight-day tour taking in the Olympic grounds where the inaugural games took place in 796 B.C and the ancient city of Mycenae. Luggage Mule can ship your bike to Greece at reasonable rates, giving you the chance to ride these superb trails on your own wheels.
Ship your golfing gear to Greece
There are seven major golf courses in Greece. On the mainland, Glyfada Golf Course is a short drive from Athens, on the sunny Afantou Beach on Rhodes you’ll find the Afandou Xenia Golf Course, and in Messenia in the southwest of the Peloponnese, The Dunes Course and The Bay Course at Costa Navarino offer a unique coastal golfing experience. Wherever you’re destined, shipping your golfing gear to Greece is easy with Luggage Mule’s reasonable rates and reliable service.
What to ship home from Greece
