Athens is a beautiful place, a must visit in my opinion if you are even slightly interested in Ancient Culture or Western History. The museums are exceptional, I've felt very connected to humanity in this trip. I would recommend to stay in the central neighbourhoods, although they are more expensive and full of tourists, I only felt safe where we stayed because we were a very large group. This city is beautiful and people are amazingly nice, but the truth is that many places are completely abandoned and there is a lot of poverty, even children asking for money.

Thessaloniki is such a beautiful city. The people are so nice and helpful, very social compared to where I come from. There is a lot of catcalling unfortunately, men of all age shouting and whistling, we were approached a few times too but it was handled with a simple story of telling that we're traveling with a man:’) I definitely recommend visiting Halkidiki; rent a car or take the bus! Also Ano Poli is worth it, the cafes and general vibe there made me want to stay there forever. There are a lot of places to eat at, I suggest just walking around and sitting down somewhere that looks good! I spent about 200€ during the 4 days there—that went to food, snacks and transportation. We stayed at an AirBnB which cost about 150€ for 4 nights, it was at a lovely location and easy to get to. If anyone wants our itinerary, just ask! I made a detailed schedule <3
Posted: May 26, 2025It felt very safe but it might be because we went September and the official season was over, there weren’t many restaurants that worked after 8/9 pm, and the one that worked was average at best, plus if you get water and bread in Greece right after you sit down, you will get charged 3 euros, even if you don’t touch it at all. There are a lot of places to go, you can get there with a ferry and its like 20/30 euros for your car. With a car we managed to go around the whole island for like 6/7 hours + stopping for pictures and visiting places. Out of season we paid 40€ per night for a studio.
Posted: May 19, 2025Experienced: August, 2024Felt safe enough with Greek people and tourists. I’ve enjoyed the volkan cinema, where you can eat while watching mamma mia on the terrace of their restaurant. The food is not very typical but you should try feta cheese and pita gyros. Santorini in general is very expensive but you still can manage your money without spending too much in touristic stuff. In addition I recommend you to use the bus line and not the taxi or renting a car cause it’s very expensive if you’re alone.

I felt really safe in Athens - no one was harassing or anything but maybe it’s because I was traveling with my partner. The food was amazing and tried so many authentic restaurants like Diporto. And took the boat to Egina and that was really nice too

At least in my neighborhood it's pretty safe, I walk after dark alone, a bit weary but I wouldn't say afraid, nothing has ever happened except a lady doing her cross when seeing me probably because of my haircut. Other than that, I would say it's pretty safe, not that we shouldn't be careful, but that it's unlikely anything to happen if we are
