Border Crossing Preparations**:
Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned exit from Greece.

For flights, consider the total travel time including airport check-in and transfers, which can extend beyond just flight duration.
Luggage Considerations**:
Keep your luggage manageable, especially if using public transport or buses, as space can be limited.
Secure your belongings, particularly at border crossings where luggage checks may occur.
