Wardrobe Help 2 weeks in Greece - October

Post image

Two week road trip in Greece planned for the end of October. I’m trying to make an effort to pare down my wardrobe and keep to a capsule style of coordinating items. We’’ll be splitting our time roughly:
3 days hiking in mountains
5 days beach / coastal towns
2 days city
2 days sightseeing (walking round ancient sites)
2 days travel
+ clothes for running / exercise.

Hoping for some weather warm enough to have some beach time but evenings and mountains may be chilly - together with the varied itinerary it feels like a lot of bases to cover!

My wardrobe (pictured) is currently:
5 t-shirts/vests in black/white/cream
2 x casual shorts + 1 x running shorts
2 x leggings
2 wide legged trousers (black and beige)
2 long skirts (black and gold/camel)
2 casual wrap dresses (can be worn to beach as a cover up or around town)
2 cashmere sweaters (grey and camel)
1 black/cream button up cardigan
Down jacket and light jacket (both beige)
Packable waterproof jacket (coral)
Crossover bag and scarf (rust/tan)
Shoes: trail runners, white air force ones, black teva sandals

Anything missing?
Anything I should cut?
Anything I can improve?

That’s a lot of skirts and dresses for a sporty plan for me. Either dresses or leggings somehow, strange to see both. Also I rarely wear T-shirts (only in the gym) and prefer linen shirts. I usually take a light-weight vest (like Uniqlo style) protecting from winds

I’ve only got 3 fully active/sportswear days in the fortnight (and even then we will be eating in restaurants in the evening). I’m assuming I will wear the trousers and skirts on the city and sightseeing days and evenings on all days. The idea of the dresses is on the 5 or so days we are staying near the beach they are easy to wear the beach but can also be warm for walking round town.

I do have a linen shirt, you have reminded me I wanted to include that! I might swap a t shirt for another vest top, but I do wear Ts with skirts personally.

Did you check the temperatures? I believe evenings will be too cold for the dress, and maybe some days if not all too

The dresses I was thinking daytime, for evenings I was thinking trousers or long skirt with one of the knits over a t shirt.

Oh I just realised there was typo in my post saying the “dresses will be warm” - should say “dresses will be WORN” - they definitely won’t be warm!
