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!

Athens
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.

It is safe but be careful with your phone and bag especially in areas like METRO AND TRAIN STAITIONS : OMONIA, VICTORIA , AGIOS NIKOLAOS , METAXOURGHIO, ATTIKH , LARISA STATION … especially at night ! You have to also be careful about the streets with stud

During the day is usually very safe you ,wont have any problem. During the night some places might have drug dealers so its better to stay away from those places at night. Also some streets dont have road lights so its better to find a different route.

Athens
The city center (Monastiraki, Syntagma, Plaka) is most likely safe because its ALWAYS busy, from early in the morning to late at night. I’ve walked there alone from 00:00-6:00am and people are usually chill about it. It was 3 times out of 10 when Ive been catcalled or got stared at. Avoid Omonoia at all costs though, even in the morning. If you’re considering visiting Exarcheia or give Kerameikos a chance for the nightlife just make sure you have a friend with you.

Hello girls! I am Greek and of course it's cheaper to travel abroad rather than Greece! I am 20 yrs and I am Chemical Engineer student in Thesssaloniki. I love cycling and I want to explore the world by bikepacking. I know it's hard but it calls me. I want to connect and meet inspiring women and people in general. I am an artistic person even though I study engineering. Life is strange.
