Chania has a very peaceful atmosphere and simplicity that my rushed soul needed to calm down and breath, enjoy sun, sand and sea. It was so beautiful all the mountains are also inspiring and beautiful. You have to visit the botanical garden it does need a good running shoes as it is a lot of hiking up and down but it is so beautiful. I found that it connect me to nature and ground me. You will love it.

We loved it. It was a great experience overall although I did learn the hard way that island hopping is not as fun as it sounds. Next time I’ll stick to 1 or 2 islands but overall everything was beautiful.

Went to greece with my dlfamily in 2019. We went to Athens where we stayed a week going to the temple of Zeus and to the Acropolis. It was very fascinating seeing all these historic things getting to know the story of greece. After one week in Athens we flew to Crete where we had a bit more of a chill week. We went snorkeling and drove over the island with a quad visiting a small villiage and getting to know a local woman showing us diffrent ways to make local dishes. The rest of the time we were enjoying at the pool or the beach before heading back home.

I felt pretty safe during both the night and day. Only next to the Akropolis area on the built-up neighborhood I saw few creeps but they did not come to me and my friend. Also be careful about thieves

Serious random violence is rare.People are around.Streets are lively late.Women move freely.Walking alone, using transport, existing without constant fear is normal.some petty crime and chaotic areas.

Thessaloniki is a students city which means that it never sleeps! There are always people out, groups of friends, eating, walking, drinking. Of course as a solo female traveler it’s always better to avoid dark and remote areas (mostly closer to the train and bus stations).

Hi beautiful people!!🌙I'm a film student, really into arts and politics. I love nature and also the street culture. I decided I have to explore the world (inner and outer) so that to remember all the important things we've forgotten. It's nice we can help each other in feeling safe (as capitalism is killing us). Im from the island Crete, now living in Thessaloniki. If you need a place to stay in both places, send me a message, I would love to meet you and showing around or suggest u local (non touristic) places 💗 🇵🇸🏴☠️🧜🏼♀️🦌🦔🌱
