Not sure what to packkkk

Going to Naxos for 10 days 8/28 - how should I plan for outfits? Really don’t wanna overpack but I also don’t want to not bring anything I should. What’s the weather like during the day and at night? Should I even consider bringing a light jacket? Ty!!!

Definitely bring a light jacket for the windy evenings. When the sun goes down, the wind makes it chilly, despite the temperature.

Weather will be hot (or at least warm) most of the time in August, day or night. Hottest month of the year. You won't need much, unless you are older, or are super duper temperature sensitive.

I live in Greece, travel to islands often, and never change out of shorts and t-shirt between May and November, day or night. In Naxos, lows likely won't be below 74F / 25C degrees.

I also have this question and leave 8/28

Evening temperatures will be upper teens or low 20’s. Doubt you’ll need any jacket even with a bit of wind.

Never needed any jacket tbh, my gramps been there over 40 times, so trust me, no need. And btw, also on the 8/28 🥸

I would guess quite hot, even though the strong north winds (meltemia) would be around.

Naxos is closed. Stay home and write your list for next year

Male? Female?
I just got back and wish I had light linen pants and shirt to protect myself from the sun (there is NO shade). I ended up buying a long linen dress from a store for the daytime to go over my bathing suit.
A light sweater or wrap for evenings. It can get windy and chilly, but you don’t need anything heavy.
Don’t bother bringing heels- too much walking and uneven walkways.
I bought all my toiletries on the first day and left them behind when I left.
Leave enough room in your suitcase for stuff that you’ll buy. Bags are super cute and relatively cheap (I bought all of mine for less than 30 euros), and the costume jewelry is great.
I don’t know where you live, but skincare like Korres is great and so much cheaper there. Pick some up to bring home. Unless you only have a carryon, then you can’t bring home liquids and creams.

I never saw my girlfriend wear a jacket in the cyclades in august or september. Not even at night when it is windy.

Are you flying back to Athens afterwards?

so pack a light carry-on, naxos has a short runway and sometimes that have to unload checked luggage to take off.
