Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
The Aegean sun is strong and many coves are ecologically sensitive—use reef‑safe sunscreen to protect marine life.
Wear water shoes
Many secluded beaches have pebbles or rocky entries; water shoes make entries and exits safer and more comfortable.
Carry small cash
Some tavernas and small shops accept only cash for quick purchases; bring euros for meals or souvenirs.
Know your swim limits
Stretches of open water can have currents; if snorkeling or swimming offshore, stay within sight of the guide.
Swimsuit & quick‑dry towel
You’ll be in and out of the water multiple times—fast‑drying fabrics speed transitions.
