Start with your swimwear
and make it count
Greece is, above all else, a place for the sea. Whether you are island-hopping through the Cyclades, staying at a cliff-top villa in Santorini, or spending a lazy week at a resort on the Peloponnese coast, you will spend a great deal of time in, on, or beside the water.
This is not the place for a throwaway bikini. The Greek light is honest — it shows everything — and the setting is too beautiful for anything that does not feel special. I always recommend packing two or three swimwear pieces that you truly love, rather than five that you feel indifferent about.
A printed one-piece is endlessly versatile: it works at the beach, at lunch poolside, and with wide-leg trousers and sandals as an impromptu top for exploring a harbour village. A bikini with a statement print gives you the joy of colour against all that blue. Choose pieces with intention.
