Greece is hot in August. My advice is to dress CCC both day and night: casually, comfortably, conservatively. It's okay for your 9 year old son to wear shorts anywhere during the day but if you and your wife want to blend in with the locals, long pants are a better choice in Athens. Your wife can wear a skirt if she's more comfortable dressing that way.

Have a great time and share your "discoveries" with us when you return.
