The marinas and towns all have grocery shops for generally available food & toiletries, batteries, sunscreen, etc. , so it is easy to stock up en route. Your itinerary provides information on where the best fresh produce & fish markets are. Shops with sunglasses, towels & beach toys are also common.
Clothing and specialties shops, jewelry shops, local crafts, souvenirs & wine shops are also scattered throughout the islands in Croatia, Greece and Italy. Your crew can make great recommendations.
In general, layering makes it easy to accommodate all sorts of weather without having to overpack. In general, light colours are cooler as darker colours absorb the sun.
