I Island Hopped in Greece for 2 Weeks—and I Didn't Check a Bag Thanks to These 15 Packable Fashion Pieces
Visiting three Greek locales requires a foolproof packing list to ensure that every activity, terrain, and climate is accounted for. I also highly recommend sticking to a carry-on bag if you can (at least, that's my preference, especially when navigating the narrow streets of Greece). Below, explore the 15 non-negotiable travel clothing and accessory essentials I relied on that deserve a spot in your suitcase when visiting the Greek Isles this summer.
A solid button-up blouse — ideally in linen, cotton, or silk — is at the top of my summer vacay list. I personally packed this Quince Washable Stretch Silk Blouse on my trip, and it's one I often take on any vacation because it's so versatile and easy to wear. Not only is it super lightweight and breathable (a must in a warm climate like Greece), but it also takes up virtually no space in your suitcase.
Plus, this top is the ultimate clothing chameleon: Pair it with casual shorts and sneakers, wear it with a skirt and heeled sandals, or toss it over your swimsuit as a classy cover-up. I personally own it in white (and find that's the most versatile), but it also comes in a number of other lovely colors.
For days of visiting beaches or exploring Cycladic towns, I always reach for an easy-to-wear pair of shorts. On extra warm days, I'm a fan of wearing a loose-fitting linen option like these Quince European Linen Shorts, which I packed for my last trip to Greece. I own them in black, but they're also available in a number of pretty colors and patterns to suit any preference.
For something a bit more structured, you could opt for these classic Madewell Bermuda Shorts. Either of these neutral options could easily mix and match with any of the tops in your luggage, so there's no need to pack more than one pair in your carry-on.
A gorgeous pair of linen pants is a must for any Greek vacation. I've been obsessed with the Australian fashion brand Dissh's elastic linen trousers for travel, but if you're looking for something at a lower price point, you can't go wrong with this $40 wide-leg pair from Halara. Whichever route you choose, you'll have a wrinkle-free, space-saving option that goes with everything, whether you're exploring the city or hanging by the beach.
Let's be real, when we're packing for vacation—especially somewhere as scenic as Greece—you're going to want to bring at least one standout, picture-worthy outfit. My personal favorite: a statement dress, like this stunning floral one from ASTR the Label. It's worth noting that while a maxi dress may take up a bit more space than its shorter counterpart, it's a one-garment outfit, which is ultimately a space-saver.
Any dress with a vibrant pattern or unique design will make you feel like an ethereal Greek goddess, in my opinion. However, you can still go bold with something understated like this smocked maxi dress from Amazon-loved brand PrettyGarden. Personally, I packed this Favorite Daughter linen dress on my last trip to Greece, and it was a chic hero piece for my vacation wardrobe.
On a trip to Greece, you're going to need sandals that are well-suited for wearing to the beach, walking along cobblestone paths, and maybe even hiking down into secluded coves (yes, this came up while I was in Milos). For that reason, I'd recommend packing a pair of sandals that are well-suited for any active adventure, like the Teva Hurricanes or Merrell Speedfusions.
When I'm headed to a coastal destination like Greece, I love packing a simple dress like Dissh's Lotus Linen Dress that I can toss on with a pair of sneakers and head out for a day exploring, or slip over my swimsuit before heading to the sea. It embodies that effortless Greek style, hardly takes up any packing space, and creates a complete outfit with just one easy-to-wear piece. For something a bit more budget-friendly, I found this linen dress at Amazon that achieves the same vibe at a fraction of the price. $90 at Amazon $90 at Nordstrom
While you'll most likely spend your days ambling around Greece in a pair of sandals, it's always a good idea to bring at least one pair of closed-toed shoes on any trip (especially for when the temps drop at night). For the purposes of a Greek vacation, I'd keep it simple with a pair of white sneakers. On our trip, I opted for classic Reebok Club Cs, whereas my husband packed a pair of white and navy Nike Killshot leather shoes. Pro tip: I'd wear these on the plane to save space in your bag.
A trip to the Greek Isles means plenty of time swimming in pools and the sea; therefore, a chic swimsuit is a must. For lounging by the pool at Andronis Minois Paros, I packed the LSpace Hazel Ribbed Bikini Top and matching bottoms, which I adored because both are super comfortable, offer a decent amount of coverage for a two-piece, and also the white piping gives the classic black bikini a more unique design.
However, if you're not a fan of bikinis, then check out the Baewatch Colorblock Trim Ribbed One-piece Swimsuit, which has a similar style, or Cupshe's ultra-flattering one-piece that's only $40 at Amazon.
Hopefully, your Greek isle itinerary includes plenty of time at the beach and on the water, which means your valuables might be in danger of getting wet or sandy. That's where a waterproof bag like this one from Amazon (which has thousands of five-star reviews) can come in handy. Simply slip in your phone and then enjoy the Aegean Sea stress-free.
While you can get away with dressing pretty casual in Greece, I like to have at least one pair of sandals that feel elevated enough to wear to a nicer dinner, which is why I packed the Nisolo Platform Sandals for my trip and absolutely loved wearing them. Not only do they have incredible support for long days on your feet, but they also work just as well with a pair of shorts as they do with a more elegant dress. $198 $158 at Vuoriclothing.com
Even though Greece gets quite warm in the summer, temperatures can drop at night, especially if you're visiting one of the windier islands like Milos. I recommend packing at least one jacket, like this insulated option from Vuori, which is one of my go-tos for just about any trip—it features a lightweight yet warm construction and neutral colorway that goes with everything.
Speaking of layers, a cardigan is another great option for when the temperatures dip come nightfall. A few of my favorites include the Jenni Kayne Murphy Cardigan, which you can wear on its own as a sweater or draped over a dress (it came in handy when we ferried over to Sifnos, where we experienced the incredible cuisine and meandered about the breezy cliffside towns). Over at Amazon, you can achieve the same look with the Verdusa cropped cardigan ($30) or the Amazon Essentials V-neck Cardigan Sweater that's on sale for $17.
One of my favorite accessories to pack is a silk scarf. It takes up virtually no room in your luggage, but can completely transform an outfit by adding a splash of color to an otherwise simple ensemble. Most of the scarves in my collection are either passed down from my mom or sourced vintage, but I spotted a couple that would be a great addition to anyone's collection, like this pretty blue and white option from Kurt Geiger, bold printed Nordstrom one, or even this silky floral-adorned option from Amazon that's on sale for $13.
An iconically shaped pair of sunglasses is a great space-saving accessory that can elevate your entire outfit while also protecting your eyes. I packed these fun cat-eye sunglasses from Maui Jim for my last trip to Greece, and I love these sunnies for their vintage style, along with the fact that they feature polarized lenses, a must when walking around Greece or relaxing by the pool at our sophisticated yet understated hotel, Verina Astra. For a lower price point option, I'd recommend Goodr's no-slip, no-bounce Circle G shades for $25.
When I'm enjoying a dreamy adventure abroad, I want my sleepwear to rise to the occasion. I am currently obsessed with the silky-smooth pajama sets from Eberjey, which feel truly luxurious on my skin. The breathable fabric also stays fresh and clean after multiple wears, reducing the need to pack excessive sleepwear. My other favorite summery shorts sets (both on vacation and at home): Cozy Earth's bamboo PJs, Quince's 100% European Linen PJ set, and Old Navy's $40 Poplin Pajama Short Set.
Another small accessory that can make a big impact: jewelry, of course. For a Grecian vacation, I love this Pavoi coin necklace at Amazon, which only costs $17, or this layered set from Aritzan Joyeria, both of which help upgrade even a simple outfit. I'm also a fan of these lovely Gorjana braided earrings for the same reason.

A Spanish Twist On East And West
Directional Road Signs Pointing East and West, Vector Illustration of Guideposts in Black and White ... More for Navigation and Travel. Trendy resorts are often both timeless and cutting edge. Palma de Majorca, off the coast of southeast Spain, has winding old streets and a 14th-Century castle that can be seen for miles off shore. While the island's buzzy downtown restaurants may be more focused on local paella and seafood, the Kimpton Asyla is rolling out a menu of Asian-inspired rolls, soups and dumplings. The dining room at Saba. Saba, which means mackerel in Japanese, focuses on a dueling menu of Asian versus Spanish specialties. In some ways that culinary choice is not too surprising for a chain like Kimpton, which has long been based in San Francisco. Several of the hotel's restaurants in California also feature Asian restaurants, such as the elaborate Thai food at HED11 in the Kimpton Enso, in Japantown; and Filipino food at ABACÁ at the Kimpton Alton in Fisherman's Wharf. Spanish tomato toast pan tomaca or tostadas con tomate closeup on the wooden board on the table. ... More Horizontal top view from above Some of the Asian options at Saba include Korean Bulgogi, sushi, sashimi and nigiri. Some Spanish options include classics such as pan con tomate, Jamon Iberico and fried Calamari. Zayt, the poolside bar, is producing some of the best fish- and vegetable-forward dishes, including tuna tacos, gazpacho and some really great pizzas. So, I was curious to speak to Aysla's director of food and beverage, Damiano Curro. All responses have been edited and condensed for clarity. Liza B. Zimmerman (L.B.Z.): Why have a Western and Asian menu? Gazpacho at Zayt. Damiano Curro (D.C.): Because we want to offer two types of cuisines in order to provide different experiences for our guests in house. L.B.Z.: How are the island's primarily ingredients involved in both menus? Dim sum at Saba. D.C.: In our Asian and Mediterranean menus, primary ingredients play a key role by showcasing the freshness and quality of locally sourced produce. We focus on using seasonal vegetables, herbs and proteins that reflect our region, while still honoring the traditional flavors of both cuisines. L.B.Z.: How is local seafood wrapped up in the menus? D.C.: Local seafood plays a central role in both our Asian and Mediterranean menus, highlighting the freshness and quality of the ingredients from our nearby coasts. We feature seasonal catch such as tuna, octopus, prawns, and local white fish, which are prepared using techniques and flavor profiles from both culinary traditions. L.B.Z.: What culinary synergies are involved in preparing them both? D.C.: There are several natural synergies involved in preparing both the Asian and Mediterranean menus as they feature many of the same ingredients but with different cooking techniques applied. L.B.Z.: How is the Asian menu linked to Spain or Kimpton's other properties (many of which are located in places like SF with great Asian food)?: Raw fresh Seafood Cocktail close up with Mussels, Clams, Vongole, Prawns and Shrimps D.C.: We create the connection through the seafood found in our local Spanish waters, which serves as a perfect base for many Asian-inspired dishes. L.B.Z.: How do locals and visitors order? Do they choose more Asian or local dishes? D.C.: Both concepts are highly appreciated by our in-house guests, especially because they have the opportunity to switch things up during their stay. L.B.Z.: Is this the first Kimpton property to do an East versus West menu? D.C.: We are the first European property to have an Asian restaurant concept in our hotel.

The 8 Best Leather Overnight Bags of 2025, Tested and Reviewed
As someone who uses leather backpacks and totes regularly (and swears by personal favorites from Cuyana), I know a well-made leather bag when I see one. That's why I especially loved our Best Overall pick, the Korchmar Twain Leather Weekender , which impressed us with its elegant look, roomy interior, and comfortable handles. Scroll through our list to see other leather overnight bags we loved. To identify the top leather overnight bags on the market, we tested 50 styles across various brands, price points, and silhouettes, with ongoing evaluations continuing over a six-month period. Each bag was packed, carried, and used in real-world scenarios from office commutes to weekend getaways to determine how it held up in terms of comfort, construction, and usability. A leather overnight bag offers a level of durability, structure, and timeless style that other materials often can't match. The best ones are spacious without being bulky, stylish enough for any setting, and thoughtfully designed with pockets and features that actually make packing and carrying easier. When made well, leather only gets better with age, softening over time while still maintaining its shape and strength. Korchmar Twain Leather Weekender Credit: Korchmar View on Why We Love It Attractive, timeless, and durable, this carry-on-friendly bag is a worthy investment piece. What to Consider It's pricier than many of the options on our list. Handcrafted from American cowhide and finished with natural oils and waxes, the Korchmar Twain Duffel stood out in our tests for its thoughtful craftsmanship, timeless aesthetic, and versatile performance. Travel + Leisure associate editor Anna Popp and her fiancé tested the bag on multiple trips including long weekend getaways and weddings, and it consistently impressed them. "It's a really attractive leather bag," Popp said, adding that it was especially useful for quick trips where looking polished matters. The Twain is carry-on friendly, and during a four-night trip to Austin, we packed it with several outfits, a toiletry kit, shoes, and accessories without running out of space. Its streamlined, minimalist design has just one interior zippered pocket and no external compartments, which we found worked best when paired with packing cubes. Though the robust leather adds some weight, the bag remains easy to carry, even when full. The top handles fasten together with a button latch for a more comfortable grip, and the adjustable shoulder strap with an ergonomic pad helped distribute weight well. Durable and elegant with antiqued nickel zippers and hardware, it's a quality long-term investment piece. It also comes with a five-year warranty on defects, which speaks to the brand's confidence in its materials and construction. While we would've liked more color options, it's hard to beat this piece for travelers who want style, substance, and simplicity in one handsome bag.

What to Consider We didn't love the fabric of the long carrying strap, which reminded us of a seatbelt. This beautiful bag impressed us with its sleek, structured silhouette and travel-friendly versatility. Crafted from full-grain leather with a cotton twill lining, this bag combines thoughtful design with a polished look. It meets most carry-on size requirements (though we recommend confirming with your airline), and while it appears compact, we found it more spacious than expected. It's ideal for weekend getaways or as a supplemental bag for longer trips. T+L's senior testing editor Jackie Cucco stuffed it with three outfits, pajamas, shoes, and a toiletry kit, though it lacked the space for 'a ton of extra accessories.' Interior organization is smart but minimal, with one large zip pocket and two slip pockets (though we found the smaller one less useful). The exterior slip pocket was a standout feature for easy access to travel essentials. Cucco appreciated the adjustable side tabs, which make the bag feel more compact when not fully packed, though she wished they didn't hang awkwardly when unbuckled. While the shoulder strap could use a bit more padding, the structured handles and durable hardware helped make this bag easy to carry for long stretches. The Details: 22.25 x 10 x 13.5 inches Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Best Oversized Tote Cuyana Easy Travel Tote Credit: Cuyana View on Why We Love It Its lightweight leather, roomy capacity, and secure zip-top design make it as practical as it is polished. What to Consider There's only one slip pocket, so you'll need travel pouches to keep smaller items separated. This oversized leather tote stands out for its rare combination of generous capacity and featherlight feel that offer true ease in transit. While many leather bags are structured and heavy even before packing, this one felt lighter than even some nylon alternatives and proved easy to carry whether tossed over a shoulder or worn crossbody with the long adjustable strap (sold separately). Weighing less than three pounds, it's the lightest full-sized leather tote in T+L associate editorial director Morgan Ashley Parker's collection. Still, it's roomy enough for everything she needs for a day of sightseeing or a commute to the office, including a 15-inch laptop. 'I love that it fully zips shut so I'm not worried about pickpockets or about anything slipping out if I put it under the seat on the plane,' Parker noted. It's sleek, minimal, and available in a range of unique and classic colors. The Details: 14.2 x 25.3 x 6.3 inches | 2.9 pounds | 37 liters Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure The 5 Best Leather Duffel Bags of 2025, Tested and Reviewed Best Personalized Leatherology Transit Travel Tote Credit: Leatherology View on Why We Love It It's stylish, substantial, and designed with features that make it exceptionally functional. What to Consider The crossbody strap is a useful addition, but it's sold separately. Technically a tote but with the capacity of a small weekender, this Leatherology bag impressed us with its thoughtful organization and durable materials. Parker packed it for overnight and weekend trips and was 'pleasantly surprised by all this built-in organization in a bag this stylish.' With nine interior pockets (including a padded laptop sleeve), two exterior slip pockets, and a luggage sleeve that doubles as storage, it's both versatile and secure. The full-grain leather has a soft, textured finish that feels luxe but not delicate — 'a nice hefty kind,' Parker added — and the trapunto-style stitched personalization ensures a monogram won't fade over time. We've owned several Leatherology pieces over the years and can confidently say they hold up with time and travel, making the brand's personalization options well worth the investment. This tote is an especially smart pick for gifting as well. The Details: 25 x 8.5 x 12 inches (25 x 10 x 12 inches when expanded) Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Best Large Capacity Carl Friedrik Granville Weekender Credit: Carl Friedrik View on Why We Love It The thoughtful design includes a roomy zippered exterior pocket, smooth double zippers, and a luggage sleeve. What to Consider Unpacked, it's heavier than others on our list. With a 33-liter capacity and a structured, suitcase-like build, the Carl Friedrik Granville Weekender offers the kind of space and organization we typically expect from a carry-on roller. Parker used it for a long weekend trip and managed to fit everything she and her dog needed, including multiple outfits, two extra pairs of shoes, toiletries, and pet supplies. Despite the volume, she found it easy to travel with. 'I thought it would have been bulky or awkward to carry when it was full, but shockingly it was not,' she shared. The bag slings easily over the shoulder or can be worn crossbody with the wide strap that's ideal for navigating train stations or city streets. It also includes a luggage sleeve that blends cleanly into the design, plus a roomy exterior zip pocket that was Parker's favorite feature. Crafted from textured full-grain leather with vegetable-tanned vachetta trim, the bag feels especially durable and high-end. Smooth double zippers, magnetic interior pockets, and a reinforced structure make this a well-balanced choice for travelers who want capacity without bulk. The Details: 20.9 x 11.8 x 8.3 inches | 4.4 pounds | 33 liters Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Best Lightweight Portland Leather Goods Oversized Leather Tote Bag Credit: Amazon $160 at Amazon View on Why We Love It It has a timeless, roomy design that's easy to grab and go. What to Consider The design features an open top without a closure. Leather is a heavier material and can be cumbersome to carry, so we appreciate a leather bag that's designed with a more lightweight construction. This unlined tote stands out for its simple, oversized silhouette that's both sturdy and easy to travel with. During a trip to Chicago, T+L senior editor Jasmine Grant used it as her personal item and found it ideal for tossing in everything she needed for the flight and subsequent train commute: 'Just when I thought I was running out of room, I found I could always fit more.' This tote's minimal structure is part of what makes it so portable. Available in four sizes ranging from small to oversized, it has a wide-open main compartment with just one small interior pocket and a large slip pocket on the outside that's great for quick-access items like a phone or lip balm. The English bridle leather handles felt secure and comfortable, even when the bag was full. While it lacks a trolley sleeve and doesn't close at the top, we found its spaciousness and pared-down design ideal for light, casual travel.

What to Consider It's a thin bag, so you may have to stack items when packing. This Italian leather tote immediately impressed us for its elegant, design-forward approach to a practical travel bag. Hand-stained and vegetable-tanned, the material feels both supple and durable, lending a sophisticated finish without sacrificing functionality. T+L editor Taylor Fox found it to be lightweight and easy to carry, with structured over-the-shoulder straps and a slim profile that makes it a breeze to stow under a seat on trains or most flights. While it's a bit too large to be an everyday commuter bag, it's perfectly sized for overnight stays or all-day outings. Inside, the layout is simple but effective, featuring two interior pockets and a built-in key lanyard that helped us stay organized. We especially appreciated the smooth zippers and aesthetic touches like the exterior buckle accents, which elevate the look without adding unnecessary bulk. The Details: 11.75 x 18.75 x 7.5 inches | 2.9 pounds Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Best Unisex My Style Bags Duffel Bag London Milano Credit: My Style Bags View on Why We Love It The beautifully constructed, high-capacity bag offers a timeless look. What to Consider It lacks external pockets. With its 55-liter capacity and classic half-moon silhouette, this leather duffel is a versatile option for travelers who prioritize both form and function. We found it impressively spacious, easily holding four to five days' worth of clothing, shoes, and toiletries. Still, it was compact enough to fit in an overhead bin. The cavernous main compartment made packing straightforward, especially with the help of packing cubes, and its slim internal zippered pocket kept essentials like a phone, wallet, and headphones organized. Despite its generous size, it was surprisingly comfortable to carry. The short handles can be slung over a shoulder, and the adjustable strap is practical for longer hauls (though less polished in appearance). 'The exterior leather feels really durable and is grooved so it doesn't show scuffs or scratches so easily,' said Fox, who also noted 'the interior cotton is a bit more delicate.' It held up well through crowded subways, train travel, and Uber rides.

7 of the Best Freebies You Can Get in Economy—Meals, Alcoholic Drinks, and Toys Included
Key Takeaway Even in economy, passengers can score perks like alcoholic drinks, amenity kits, and Wi-Fi, depending on the airline and route. Flight attendants are more likely to grant requests after the main service, especially when passengers are polite and patient. Just because you're flying economy doesn't mean you can't enjoy a few special perks. Even if these extras aren't always widely advertised, they're often available if you ask. As Dollar Flight Club founder and CEO Jesse Neugarten points out, "Many travelers don't realize that even in economy, a polite request can get you a few helpful extras." However, Quinn English, founder of FreeQuinnt Flyer, explains that not all routes are created equal when it comes to economy freebies. For example, he notes that longer flights are more likely to offer extra perks. Similarly, Neugarten adds that "international routes almost always offer more perks than domestic ones." Additionally, English points out that "full-service airlines like Delta, United, and American are going to be the most generous with freebies in economy." On the other hand, both he and Neugarten tell Travel + Leisure that budget carriers tend to be far more limited in what they offer, which makes sense, given their focus on keeping costs (and ticket prices) as low as possible. When asking for freebies, remember that a little kindness and patience go a long way. As English notes, "The most important thing to remember is that most airlines aren't overstaffing flight attendants on each flight, so they have a pretty heavy workload, especially during boarding, getting ready for takeoff, and landing." With that in mind, those probably aren't the best times to make requests. Instead, wait until after the main service has finished and the cabin has settled down—that's when flight attendants are most likely to have the time (and bandwidth) to help. If you're ready to take your in-flight experience to the next level, keep reading to discover the best airline freebies you can score in economy.
