Lots and lots of undergarments. Some nice summer dresses and shoes. Good T shirts and denim shorts. Also some athletic clothes (you never know). It's summer but having a hoodie can't hurt. Bring all the hair stuff you use and extra bobby pins and hair ties.

When I went to Greece, my bag got lost for 3 days. Make sure you pack spare underwear and t shirts in your carryon. It's also super hot there in the summer, so shorts, t shirts and a light cardigan will do it :) definitely some cute sundresses if that's your style.

Oh, I also suggest a small crossbody bag, and bathing suits.

Bikinis, shorts, tops, flats, sandals, good shoes to walk in, summer dresses in light colors, sunglasses(!!), sunscreen, jumpsuits, cardigans for nighttime and one or two pair of jeans(maybe you need them, sometimes it is cold, or if you're going to a mountain or something).

Found these ideas on Pinterest. When I was in Europe last summer for 10 days, I packed more basic shirts and tops than I did shorts because you can re-wear shorts but for most of your shirts you won't want to re-wear because it is hot, but unless you have access to laundry, you won't have to bring as much stuff. Definitely stick to the basics, tshirts, sundresses, shorts, etc.; but also keep in mind that you will want something comfy to wear on the plane...

Keep in mind that it also could be cold or rainy sometimes so make sure you are prepared for that, even though Greece will be hot, it still can be cooler sometimes depending on where you are traveling. I wish I would have been more prepared for the weather when I went to Europe.
Also when packing, I separated all the clothes I would wear by day and took pictures of them so I wouldn't have to think about it and I was more prepared. So think, this day I could wear this shirt with this cardigan and these shorts, and then for another outfit you could wear the same shorts that you wore before with another shirt. If that made sense? Lol, also pack basic shoes but make sure you also have comfortable/practical shoes for hiking or anything like that. You may also bring one or two nicer outfits incase you go somewhere nice to eat or something.

This is also a good tip and make sure you keep basics with you like Hannah said incase your luggage gets lost.

Definitely check out Pinterest for packing ideas/tips because it really helped me for packing for long trips or just packing in general:)
