Arrival Strategy for Thessaloniki How to manage jetlag based on arrival time
Upon morning arrival, immediately expose yourself to sunlight and engage in light physical activity to reset your circadian rhythm and combat early fatigue.
Afternoon arrivals should plan a gentle nap (max 30 minutes) to refresh without disrupting nighttime sleep, followed by moderate outdoor exposure.
For evening arrivals, resist immediate sleep and have a light dinner, staying hydrated and avoiding heavy meals to support natural sleep transition.
