Packing - what to take?

Clothes
At most of the places I stay at in Greece there is a washing line and pegs, so I pack just a few clothes and rely on the sun and wind to do the drying!  I take a tube of Dylon travel wash - as it works in cold water and doesn't leave a white residue on clothes.  I also take a travelling clothes line (twisted cotton covered elastic, with a hook at either end) and some pegs, in case i have a room with a balcony but no line or pegs.

The exception is Athens, and other towns or cities where you may not have a balcony.

Torch
A torch is useful - there are sometimes power cuts.  Often rooms have an outside entrance door, and there may not always be a light (or a working light!) above the door.  And you may have to climb outside unlit steps to reach tour door.

I take a small wind up, or "squeeze" rechargeable torch, so you don't need batteries.  I find the small black torches sold by Wilkinsons very useful.
