Need a jacket for Greece in May?
What should I take in the way of a jacket? Will a windbreaker do? Might I want something warmer at night? I will be there essentially the whole month, including the islands, Olympia,, Delphi, Meteora.

I've been there in May when it was cold, windy and raining steadily for a week, although that's not normal. My point is that you can't predict the weather. Bring a light jacket or sweater. Hopefully it won't leave the bottom of your bag.

Yes you will definitely need a jacket, especially in places like Delphi and Meteora where it can get cold at night. Durning the day it will be warm, but there might be a few less warmer days too.....
Right now Athens has 19 -22 C daily ....

My experience in May is: windbreaker PLUS liteweight cotton Cardigan. Late in May, all u will need after sunset is cardigan over shoulders. In Early may if it's a windy day (or sudden short cloudburst), or if u are on a ferry & it's cloudy/windy -- you'll welcome having both. To ease packing WEAR them both onto the plane from US.
