too bad we didn't bring water ski's...

Luggage and bags: Carry your belongings on your back, suitcases just don't cut it here.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Summer months require bathing suits (optional), shorts, t-Shirts, and sandles...nothing else is required. We're too old to go clubbing, so we can offer no information in that regard.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Heat rashes are common, so suggest body talc. We found that Vagisil works wonders in a hot, humid climate. I know it is generally associated with women, but guys, it works...so just remove the label.

Sunscreen is a must. Don't be a hero...

Photo Equipment: Parika has lots of places to purchase film, and at least one camera shop that carried odd-ball batteries.

We didn't own a digital camera at the time, so can not comment re spare memory. Lots of photo ops on Paros.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: beach towel...don't bother camping because prices are cheap enough for accomodation.

Miscellaneous: sunglasses, stupid floppy hats.
