Santorini is a safe place where you can walk at night without problem, wear the clothes you like. It was very peaceful... I felt better than in France without any hesitation. People are so kind and very caring !
Posted: July 6, 2025Chania is overall a safe city in Chania and in comparison to Athens is much much safer when it comes to mugging. Women should be cautious anyway when it comes to sexual harassment. Incidents have taken place in the city and nobody should be blindly trusted even if the overall atmosphere is welcoming and warm. As in every country and city around the word, kindness could be just a mask.

I felt really safe even after dark. Men are usually mostly tourists that seem to be respectful. They dont approach you out of nowhere, and they barely try anything which was awesome and made my trip super chill.
Posted: June 25, 2025Athens can be dangerous for women, especially at night. Incidents of harassment, groping in public transport, and even physical attacks have occurred in areas like Omonia and Pedion Areos. It’s not always like this, but it’s important to stay alert and aware — these things do happen.
