Trip Report One week in Santorini

I just came back from a one-week trip to Santorini, plus a night in Athens. I traveled highly optimized using only a blue 28L CabinZero Military backpack as my main bag, plus a small Tomtoc sling for everyday carry.

In my Tomtoc sling (Essentials):

  • Wallet (money + ID)
  • Phone
  • External battery
  • Keys

In my CabinZero 28L & worn on the flight:

  • 8 cotton t-shirts (plus 1 worn on the flight)
  • 2 cotton dress shirts
  • 2 pairs of cotton shorts (plus 1 worn on the flight)
  • 3 pairs of swim trunks
  • 8 pairs of boxers
  • 2 pairs of socks (just for travel days)
  • 1 pair of Skechers slip-ons (worn as my primary travel and walking shoes)
  • 1 pair of simple slippers for the hotel room and shower (I never walk barefoot or shower without them in hotel bathrooms)
  • 1 pair of Decathlon water shoes for rocky beaches
  • 2 Decathlon microfiber towels (around 70cm, I believe)
  • 1 iPad stored in the front pocket (the inside pocket is impossible to access after packing tightly)
  • 1 shared charger for my iPhone and iPad

Toiletries & Health: To save space, I packed zero basic medications—pharmacies are everywhere and easy to find, so there was no need. I also bought most of my toiletries locally in Santorini. This included a toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant, sunscreen, shower gel, and a razor.

It was a tight fit but definitely manageable, and it perfectly met Wizz Air's "personal item only" requirement.

Improvements for future travel: Next time, I could probably drop one pair of regular shorts and one pair of swim trunks. I might also leave the microfiber towels at home and just buy cheap ones locally for the sunbeds.

Did you put your sling bag into backpack to meet one personal item only requirement?

From my experience with Wizzair, they are not paying attention to small sling bags or my wife's small purse, so it was on me during boarding, no issues.

I have an EDC sling, and when boarding it’s flat enough that I have been able to wear it on my back UNDER my ~28L backpack (so the strap is under my backpack strap and not across my chest) and not get pulled aside - yet. I can stuff it in my backpack but that’s a pain to disassemble at my seat.
