What to wear in Greece in May
Is it too hot to wear jeans in Greece in May? What kind of clothes do I need to pack? Does my husband need to pack long pants or can he wear longer dress shorts. Thanks!

Jeans are fine for May, but I prefer to bring clothes that can be washed in my room and dry quickly. I always bring long pants, because in May it can be cool in the evenings, and some areas have mosquitos. You will also need a sweater or jacket for the evenings.
Daytime temperatures are likely to be in the 70s or maybe a little higher. Shorts and tee shirts are fine for daytime wear.

Definitely bring long dress shorts for your husband. And some lightweight pants. I don't think he'll get much use out of the jeans, since those can get sticky and hot if the weather is warm.
Just a FYI: We've gone to Greece many times at the end of May, and the weather ranges from 70s-high 80s, then cools down in the evening.
Both of you will want to bring sweatshirts or light jackets/sweaters for the evenings. And you may need those, too, for late afternoons if you spend any time on the beach.

"It will be very very very hot."
In May? Far from it! I've been on the Greek Islands in mid-May when it was so cold that even a sweater and jacket together weren't warm enough to eat outside in the evening. Another time, when getting off the ferry at Naxos in late May, the first Greek word I heard was κρύο (cold).
Most of the time it is tee shirt weather during the day, and jacket weather in the evenings. The later in May, the warmer the weather, and it doesn't get really hot until mid-June. Chances are the weather will be very pleasant, but don't be tempted to leave all your warm clothing at home.
