Expert Tip
In Athens or India, I recommend visiting lesser-known archaeological sites or temples near major landmarks—like the Temple of Olympian Zeus in Athens, which is often less crowded than the Acropolis. Thinking of getting local gift? A small bottle of olive oil or local spice is a great souvenir—many local markets sell authentic, inexpensive items.

How difficult is walking the Great Wall of China?
Walking the Great Wall of China can vary in difficulty depending on the section you choose. Some parts, like Badaling, are more restored and easier to walk, suitable for most fitness levels. Other sections, such as Jinshanling or Simatai, may involve steeper inclines, uneven terrain, and longer distances, making them more challenging. It’s advisable to wear comfortable shoes, carry water, and be prepared for physical exertion.
What to avoid wearing in Greece?
In Greece, it’s best to avoid wearing revealing clothing, especially when visiting religious sites like churches and monasteries, as modest attire is respectful. Avoid overly casual or beachwear outside of the beach or pool areas. Also, consider avoiding very flashy or expensive-looking accessories to prevent unwanted attention.
Can I wear shorts in Jaipur?
Yes, you can wear shorts in Jaipur, especially in hot weather. However, since Jaipur is a city with cultural and religious sites, it’s respectful to wear modest clothing when visiting temples and religious places. Covering shoulders and knees with scarves or long skirts can be appropriate when entering such sites.
What should I bring to Lake Titicaca?
When visiting Lake Titicaca, bring warm clothing, including layers and a jacket, as temperatures can be cool, especially early in the morning and evening. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are essential for sun protection. Don’t forget waterproof shoes or sandals, and consider bringing a camera for the scenic views.
Can I wear flip flops in Angkor Wat?
It’s generally okay to wear flip flops in Angkor Wat, but for comfort and safety, especially when walking on uneven or ancient stone surfaces, closed-toe shoes or sturdy sandals are recommended. Wearing comfortable footwear will help you explore more easily and protect your feet.
