Basically, anyplace that sees regular tourists will either be pretty lax, or have a ready-made solution to the clothing issue, in my experience in both Greece and Turkey.

That's interesting to hear. It's hiliarious, because I really am a modest dresser for this country! I hardly ever show my upper arms or knees. But I'd hate to sit outside somewhere while the rest of the group goes in...

Jesse, don't forget to pick up a pretty headscarf to cover your hair. That was one of my favorite purchases in Istanbul. Also, if you're taking requests, I would love some Turkish Delight!

Yeah, that's in the instructions, too. I'm sure I have a scarf.

Thanks, bon. I don't really wear shorts, so wouldn't get those exact ones, but I hadn't thought of that kind of store.

I did a ton of research for our trip, and there's lots of great options out there for modest travel clothes. Speaking of, has anyone liked anything from Athleta? I was looking at their website over the weekend, and it was really weird. Like they didn't actually know anything about travel clothes or athletic wear. Like most of their stuff was 100% cotton!

Pier 1 has some very lightweight pashminas for $14 that would be very travel practical, and would easily double for arm and head coverage. They would fold up pretty small, and still keep you warm and pretty in a nice restaurant with AC, and could also be slung around your waist as a sarong.

Yeah, I have a ton of that kind of thing. Thanks!

Bat Tatt! That's nicely rendered.

Ooh, very nice!

He's still a little scabby, but lovely.
