Wear grip-soled shoes
Ancient sites have uneven marble and limestone paving and steep steps—sturdy footwear reduces slip risk.
Hydrate for altitude changes
Delphi sits around 700 m and Parnassus influences quick weather shifts—carry at least 1–2 L water per person.
Carry cash for small purchases
Small cafes, taxi tips or entrance conveniences may require euros; card acceptance at villages can be limited.
Plan for sun and wind
Open terraces at Corinth and Mycenae offer little shade—sunscreen and a windproof layer are useful year-round.
Sturdy walking shoes
Good traction for uneven ancient stone and short uphill sections.
Daypack with water reservoir
Holds 1–2 L water, snacks, sunscreen and a light layer for changing weather.
Sun hat & sunscreen
Protects against strong Mediterranean sun on exposed archaeological terraces.
