What is a photon?

Sorry for the rudimentary question, but I need to freshen up my understanding of some basics here. As the title says, what is a photon? I understand that it has no mass. I understand that it travels at the speed of light. Is it a packet of energy? Is it a unit of measurement, like 'gram' or 'volts'?
