HOW TO DRESS

For women: in summer, lightweight clothes including cottons for summer and light sweaters (evenings can be cool). Low-heeled shoes for sightseeing.

A cocktail or short evening dress might be useful.

When visiting churches (shorts are forbidden) wear hats or scarves on your head, stockings and preferably dresses with sleeves.

For men: in summer, lightweight suits, a light topcoat, slacks and sport jackets. Heavy clothes in winter.
