The Mediterranean coast is generally comfortable this time of year with highs in the 60s and lower 70s. Springtime showers are not uncommon though days are largely sunny. We suggest you monitor weather apps before you depart for the most current information.

For This Trip You Will Need—

• Comfortable walking shoes
• Scarf or sleeved-shirt to cover your shoulders as needed—Those with bare shoulders may be denied entry into some churches or other religious establishments.

You May Also Want—

• Smart-casual wear if you'd like to dress up for dinners
• Lightweight jacket/sweater for the cool mornings and evenings or the unusually brisk day
• Inexpensive rain poncho, just in case
• Swimsuit—several of the hotels have pools
• Refillable water bottle
• A lightweight daypack/backpack for walking tours

Good Packing Habits—

• Pack a limited amount of comfortable, casual clothing that layer and coordinate. Your fellow travelers will not mind or even notice – seeing you in the same clothing.
• Bring what you need to get a good night's sleep, such as ear plugs, white noise generator, sleeping pills, etc. Unfamiliar noises of all types can disrupt your rest.
• Bring only two pairs of everyday shoes: one pair of well-broken-in walking shoes, and a second pair that could do double-duty as a walking shoe or a slightly dressy shoe.
• Pare down your beauty regimen to the bare minimum and always pack travel-sized toiletries.
• Pack medication in your carry-on and pack only as much as needed for the duration of your tour plus a few extra days as a precaution.

On every WTT tour, our policies regarding luggage restrictions are driven by the physical space limitations of the vehicles we use and the requirement that all travelers be able to manage their belongings without assistance.

• It is best to travel as lightly as possible.  Most travelers regret when they have packed too much.
• We strongly recommend you bring only one suitcase that is a size you can manage on your own. Be sure to check your airline luggage policies.
  
• You are responsible for managing your belongings.  We expect you to take your belongings to and from the coach on days we change hotels. We do not provide luggage pulls; they are not safe and are inconvenient.
• Steps exist at most hotel entrances.

• You should understand what your current cell phone plan includes in terms of data and minutes. Some, like certain T-Mobile plans, include an international package.
• Contact your cell phone service provider before departing about adding an international calling plan. Most carriers have flat daily rates which will allow your US-based phone to be functional upon arrival in a foreign country.
• Managing data while traveling internationally is important. Using WiFi when available and communicating through apps like What's App help you manage data usage while traveling.
• Learn how to make an international call BEFORE you leave. Consult your cell provider and check out the website www.HowtoCallAbroad.com.

Europe operates on 220V or 230V, which differs from most of North America and most European countries use the Europlug (also called the C-plug). Most of today's electronics (laptops, phone chargers etc.) are multi-voltage and will work worldwide automatically without a transformer, but will require a standard European plug adapter. Do not bring any heating appliances (curling iron, flat iron, etc) unless they are specifically rated as multi-voltage.

All tips to drivers and local guides who join the tour to lead individual activities will be paid on your behalf.

• You are responsible for tipping the National Guide who travels with the group. Budget the equivalent of $75 - $85. (Tipping can be done in EUROs of US Dollars)
  
• We suggest you read up on tipping culture in the various places you will be visiting so you can show your appreciation for any personal service provided with an appropriate gratuity.
• You may want to tip your WTT Tour Leader for an outstanding job. The amount is entirely a personal preference. If you'd like a guideline, consider $8-$10 per day.
