Paros, Solo travel
Paros was amazing such a great island!! The food was pretty decent and the nightlife is fun! The beaches are absolutely breath taking and I would Recommend take a boat tour!! I recommend eating at Mira or balcony of Acis. I stayed in Parikia which I prefer to nausssa. Naussa is great to walk around but overly expensive in my opinion

Samos, Solo travel
Super chill place and so beautiful in the summer. you could honestly sleep on a mountain and camp very easily and I did exactly that. small town small minds vibe and super low crime rate. locals have a lot of reservations about the refugees in the area but everyone I met was happy to be safe and such lovely people.

Drama, Family travel
Had a lovely encounter with a local who showed us around and answered all of our questions patiently. Drama is way more worth a visit than Thessaloniki or Kavala: less tourists, more historic sites and low-priced accommodations.

Rhodes, Group travel
I spent about 2 weeks in Rhodes with two of my friends and we had an amazing time! We met so many people who were all lovely, visited wonderful places and enjoyed the sun (we were lucky enough to not be hit by the heatwave). I would 100% recommend it for a girl trip and even holidays in general. The island felt super safe, we didn't any particularly bad experience during our stay and enjoyed it to the fullest! This trip made me want to come back for another stay, maybe in the future ! ✨️🇬🇷

Rhodes, Couple travel
Rhodes is a very touristic city, but instead of drunk guys, there are many couples, who Are just enjoying dinner. Sometimes you find messy streers, but thats nothing you should be worried about. Overall Rhodes Is amazing

I went to Paros in July 2025 with my friends. During the summer it’s full of life and there are a lot of nightclubs to have fun, especially in naousa where we stayed. The beaches were pretty and the water was clear. I would love to go there again

I love this city with all my heart. I went there for the first time on a school trip and there were a lot of things to do. I visited it again in February, because a friend of mine is studying there. I loved it even more , the food was amazing, it has plenty of pretty coffee shops were you can chat and spend quality time with your friends, and you can find several activities to do. My favourite was a horror escape room we visited, I thought it was an amazing and funny experience. But my...

Mykonos, Family travel
Mykonos was a great experience! I visited the island with my little brother. We felt safe there, and the scenery was beautiful. The only downside was that there weren’t many activities, and prices were very high.

Paros
Honestly one of the safest places I have ever felt visiting! I’m from the New York area so gritty is what I’m used to but this is the exact opposite!!! I never felt even slightly unsafe walking through the side streets at night or during the day and everyone is extremely friendly

Its like a small -high class- village, there is no crime. I am a 22 years old girl and from a young age i didn't care what time i would return home. Safe is the word that i would use for a place like that :)

Thessaloniki generally is considered to be a safe place in its wholesome. You should always need to be careful with your belongings because of pick pocketing. The greater attention should be paid to dedicated areas that you shouldn't visit even during day

Athens
Athens is not very safe for women. There is a lot of sexual harassment going on in public transport. Walking alone at night as a woman is hard, many local women either group up or ask a male friend to escort them to their car or their house.

Thessaloniki is very safe . In my opinion it has a very safe city centre . However be careful when you visit Aristotle’s square. If you are a solo female traveler you will feel immediately relaxed because it’s an easy city to walk around .

Avoid central athens at night - lots of immigrants and homeless people, sleeping on the ground and drugs can be seen at times. They can be there during the day too. Also be careful of pickpockets in tourist areas

About me
Hi☺️ So ..my name is Maria!! I live in Athens specifically in Neos Kosmos. I am 25 years old and i am a pretty introverted person but i am trying to make friends and be more open to the world around me and talk more and go out more. I really love going to the beach cuz i always loved the sea. The sounds she makes,the smell,the salt,the colour....every time i go it feels like she takes my problems away. I like nature a lot,the fresh air,the colours,the pure oxygen,the peace and quiet it offers. I have a problem with every bug there is out there tho😅but its ok I like listening to music,going for night rides, going out to eat etc. I really like seafood especially oysters If you have a question about something just ask me cuz....i forget a lot as a person so i am sure i forgot to mention something haha Sending all the love i can offer😚❤️❤️

Heeeyyy! 🧚🏼♀️ I was born and raised in Thessaloniki so I know my way around, and can give you recs! I'm a fashion designer, really passionate about sustainability, and supporting slow fashion as well. 🌱 I really like dancing and generally listening to live music. I love exploring new cafes and bars and learning about other cultures. Usually you will find me on cafés chilling alone or with friends! If the weather is not that good usually I'm chilling in my house drawing, making little things or watching movies. 🍹💃🏼 And because I was raised in a little village, I really enjoy spending time in nature, so in the weekends I usually go hiking or I plan little adventures away from the city. 🏞️ Hope to meet beautiful souls while travelling or hosting! ☀️💚 Looking forward to meeting you! 🌸 Amaryllis
