"When moving to Patras, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for a Mediterranean climate, including lightweight clothing for the hot summers and warmer clothing for the cooler winters. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the city and its surroundings. You should also pack your personal documents, such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. If you take prescription medication, bring an adequate supply along with a copy of your prescription. Bring your electronics, such as your laptop, smartphone, and chargers. An adapter plug for European outlets would also be useful. If you're planning on cooking, you might want to pack some of your favorite non-perishable food items that may be hard to find in Greece. Pack personal hygiene items and toiletries, although keep in mind that most of these can be easily purchased in Patras. Don't forget to pack any personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, or favorite books. Lastly, consider packing a basic first aid kit, including band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and any over-the-counter medications you may need," remarked another expat in Patras, Greece.
