"When moving to Athens, it is important to pack clothing suitable for the Mediterranean climate. Lightweight, breathable fabrics such as cotton and linen are ideal for the hot summers. It is also important to bring a few warmer items of clothing for the cooler winter months. Sun protection such as hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen are also essential for the sunny days. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a few items of furniture and kitchenware to make your new home feel more comfortable. Finally, don't forget to bring your passport and other important documents," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Athens, Greece.
