Paros, Group travel
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.

Greece, Family travel
Greece is the number one vacation spot for my family, we've been going for years and basically travelled the whole country. Never ever in my life have I had a bad experience. I have nothing but good things to say about it. It's definitely worth visiting for the culture, beautiful beaches (especially near Olymp), good people and good food!

Thessaloniki
If u don’t know some locals at least be with friends. At night, the center it’s kinda okay.. but if u go like 1-2 klm away form it , not recommended to be alone . And don’t try at 3 in the morning to walk back to your place alone if it’s not 10min walk (max). Just be with a friend:3

Athens
Athens is safe enough that millions visit without major incident, but it is not relaxed or low-effort like quieter European cities. You will likely encounter uncomfortable scenes (drugs, begging, tension) if you explore freely. Treat every outing like you’re in a big, gritty city: stay in well-lit, populated areas, keep your guard up at all times, and prioritize convenience over saving a few euros on a hotel. If you’re risk-averse, family with kids, or a first-time visitor, base yourself firmly...

Aegina
I've always felt safe in Aegina. Of course, no place is completely crime-free, so it's worth taking the usual precautions, but overall it's a relaxed and friendly island where I feel comfortable walking around and exploring.
Posted: July 3, 2026Athens
Athens is like any typical big city: not the safest, but safe enough. The crime rate is relatively low, but pickpocketing does happen and is quite common in busy areas near the city centre. I would advise staying alert when using public transport. Be mindful when walking at night alone and, preferably, avoid the backstreets, as some areas can have a tense atmosphere and visible drug use after dark.
