I felt great, there was no threat (I was with my family). We stayed at Calypso Studios, I can’t recommend it enough!!! We go there every summer and the prices are great, the staff and the owners are just amazing❤️ I’ve tested the coffee shops around my hotel, there are a lot of activities on the sea shore and the beaches are marvelous. I went on walks at dawn and I felt safe, never had any unpleasant experiences. It’s a small village with kind people 🥰
Posted: April 24, 2025Last month I travelled to Athens, this was my first experience as a solo traveller. I felt safe throughout the whole trip, most people were really nice and willing to help a tourist out! The hotel was moderately cheap, although I booked during a low peak season, thus prices may be higher in other months. I loved this experience, and hope i can organise another trip soon!
Posted: April 20, 2025Athena’s was amazing, all the culture and monuments are so beautiful and the landscape too. The city really feels 100% safe and I will be happy to return. The museums also are incredible and the food is delicious!
Posted: April 17, 2025Experienced: April, 2025Safety was moderate, we were in a group, but we came across off-putting people every once in a while and traffic was really chaotic and dangerous sometimes. Food is amazing, would recommend local taverns in central regions. The Acropolis is a must visit, so are the museums and galleries in the whole city. Everything is pretty cheap and the shop owners are always friendly. We stayed in a 4 star hotel in Alimos and it was excellent, very cozy and safe, with a great view of the sea. Transport is tricky in Athens, there's so many means of transport to choose from but so much traffic all the time.
Posted: April 15, 2025Experienced: February, 2025Everyone was kind, I felt safe Especially when me and my brother went to Prasonisi (we traveled there from Kokymbia) by bus everyone was helpful and once at the beach, which was enormous, we felt safe enough for leaving our backpacks on the sand while having a swim

I would recommend to plan your activities beforehand, I definitely spend to much time on trying to decide what to do! Every local i met was pretty friendly so no need for worries if you don’t know where you are or if you need to some inspiration on what to do, just ask around :) The food where nearly everywhere amazing BUT if you wanna get ice cream search for a local place, all those „pretty“ tourist spots aren’t that good.

I stayed in the Safestay Hostel in Monastiraki and it was quite safe and inexpensive. It was also right by the metro station so it was easy to travel to other parts of the city. There are many people that will try to sell you things in the square but if you ignore them they will leave you alone.
Posted: April 1, 2025It is a really beautiful city which many different places. I had a really nice time and you get used to the city very fast. However after a few days it can get a little boring, since the city is not too big.

I've stayed in Rethymno, Crete from February 2024 till the end of may, and it's absolutely my favorite place. You feel the island vibes, but you're also in a city where everything is accessible (supermarkets, restaurants, car rentals, touristic activities). It's also very affordable in regards to a good life quality. I never felt unsafe there; however, I heard that on some beaches at night some men do drugs (but I never witnessed that myself). Main activities to do: go hiking!! There are lots of beaches and mountains close to Rethymno for hiking. You can also rent a boat for a few hours with your friends for an affordable price, jetski, ride ATV, fishing trips, and group boat tours to nearby islands! :)
Posted: February 27, 2025Experienced: January, 2024It was really safe, I was there with my ex . The only thing that was really dangerous was the driving part . Everyone drives like crazy so be careful. The food was awesome also the view of course , 200 euros per day it’s okay to have fun

Overall safe place, of course some areas are quite sketchy, especially at night. City center is mostly safe as well, pickpocketing is not so common. Still as a female I would be cautious walking alone at night.

The city center and the east suburbs are safe even late at night The west side of the city especially near and after the train station is not safe at all. It's possible to get robbed, scared or rarely harassed. Overall during the day it's a safe city but at night a +1 person is super good to have.

🐝Currently out for Easter break! Hi beautiful people!! :) My name is Anastasia, I am 22yo and I’m currently studying economics. I ♡: concerts, picnics, vinyl bars, cinemas, cozy cafes, nature, I’m more of a homebody tho.. I also ♡: food, tea, kind people, passionate people, dogs, people who share similar interests with me..

I love travelling and experiencing the city like a local, I also love going to concerts while travelling. I get excited talking about music, films, series, books, mangas/manhwas and foooood. My taste in all things is broad. My home is a safe space for everyone<3 PS if anyone cares apparently I’m an infp
