"When moving to Rethymno, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for the Mediterranean climate, including lightweight clothing for the hot summers and warmer layers for the cooler winters. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the city and its surroundings. Swimwear is a must for enjoying the beautiful beaches, and you may also want to pack a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun. Bring any necessary prescription medications, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack travel-sized toiletries to use until you can purchase more locally. If you plan on cooking, you might want to bring some of your favorite non-perishable spices or ingredients that may be hard to find in Greece. Remember to pack all necessary travel documents, including your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or residency paperwork. You may also want to bring a Greek phrasebook or dictionary to help you communicate, as well as any electronics, chargers, and adapters you'll need. Lastly, consider packing a few personal items to make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, or your favorite books," said another expat in Rethymno, Greece.
