Money Matters
|
| The currency in Greece is the euro, formerly the drachma. Check current exchange rates before traveling. Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards, and travelers checks are widely accepted throughout the country, however cash will be easier outside the large cities, so plan accordingly.
Currency exchange agents are located in the major cities and tourist areas (American Express, Thomas Cook). ATM machines are located at all major banks, but may be limited to bank hours and possibly closed on weekends.

Electricity
|
| Electricity in Greece is 220 volts, 50 cycle AC, as compared to 110 volts, 60 cycle AC in the U.S. When taking along electrical appliances, a converter and a plug adapter are needed to operate them.

Packing Tips
|
| In summer, cotton clothing is best, a windbreaker or light jacket is also useful for evenings. The Average temperature in July and August is 90 degrees. It's a dry climate but windy on the islands. In winter bring a collapsible umbrella and moderately heavy jacket.
Attire is casual except in religious institutions such as churches and monasteries. In addition, a below the knee skirt and a hat/scarf is required for church entrance as well as a buttoned up blouse. For men trousers should be worn inside religious institutions.
