If you're heading to Georgia’s Garden Hotel for a sun-filled escape, you might be tempted to overpack… just in case. But the truth is, Crete’s warm weather, laid-back vibe, and beach proximity mean you’ll likely use less than you think. Packing light makes your arrival easier and your whole stay more relaxed.
So, what should you definitely bring? A light day bag, swimwear (yes, bring two!), sandals, sunscreen, a hat, and a comfortable outfit for walking. Add one casual evening outfit for dinners or a walk along the promenade. A reusable water bottle is also a must, it’ll keep you cool and hydrated during beach days or strolls around Amoudara.
What to skip? Heavy shoes, multiple pairs of jeans, too many accessories, and that “just in case” fancy outfit you probably won’t wear. Crete is all about ease, you’ll spend your days by the sea, under the sun, or relaxing in your cool, renovated room. Comfort is key, and you’ll appreciate having a light bag when moving around the island.
Remember, most essentials like beach towels, hairdryers, or basic toiletries are either provided or easy to grab nearby. So, pack light and leave some space in your suitcase for memories, not clutter.
