Planning a trip to sunny Greece? Whether you’re exploring ancient ruins in Athens or relaxing on the islands, don’t forget one of the most important parts of your packing list—your vision essentials. Here’s how to protect your eyes and avoid any optical mishaps while traveling.
👓 1. Always Pack an Extra Pair of Glasses
Accidents happen. Bring a backup pair of glasses in case your primary one breaks or gets lost. Store them in a sturdy, hard-shell case to prevent damage during transit.
👁️ 2. Bring Enough Contact Lenses
If you wear daily or monthly contacts, pack more than you need, just in case your trip extends or a lens gets damaged. Don’t forget your contact lens solution and case, especially if you’re staying in remote areas or islands.
💡 Tip: Use a travel-size solution bottle to save space—but make sure it meets airline liquid restrictions (max 100ml in hand luggage).
🧴 3. Don’t Forget Eye Drops
Greek summers can be dry and windy, especially near the sea. Carry preservative-free artificial tears to soothe dryness and irritation. They’re a lifesaver after a long flight or a dusty hike.
🧼 4. Clean Hands, Clean Vision
Always wash your hands thoroughly before handling your lenses. If you’re on the go, carry alcohol-free hand wipes as a backup.
🕶️ 5. UV Protection Is a Must
The sun in Greece is strong—especially during summer. Certified sunglasses with UV400 protection are essential to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. This is particularly important if you’re traveling with children.
