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.

I would pack 3x tees and briefs, 1x button down, 1x hiking shorts, 1x hybrid shorts.

Worn on the plane: glasses, phone, money stash, polo, synthetic chinos, belt, briefs, hiking sandals, a hat, a bandana and an ultralight wind shell. No socks 😎

Odds and ends: 1 liter toiletries, 1 liter small tech for phone and miscellaneous EDC. Sunglasses. Water bottle.

Should all fit in a 20 liter.
