Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Oinousses could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Oinousses a pleasure. Read through our top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
