Months ago I travelled solo to Athena in Greece. It was worth it. Food, environment, attraction even people there are really kind. So far it's best city or country I have travelled. Athen stole my heart🥰

I loved Chania, there are many tours to do around, from 6-100 euros aproximately per tour our full day trip to awesome beaches and areas nearby, so Id say thats super budget friendly. hostels start at like 15euro if thats a vibe you are into.

Me and a group of friends traveled to Greece in May of last year and did a tour around multiple parts of the mainland! Mainly seeing a lot of temples and history which was very very cool to see and something I love! The food was amazing aswell especially the seafood! I highly recommend Greece as a travel location to anyone.
Posted: June 10, 2025I felt safe, I spent under 25 euros a day. Food was amazing. I went with tour so my experience was limited yet I highly recommend. Every person I've encountered seems to understand english. It is refreshing walking in the Aristoteles square and trying greek pastries thereby.

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

Chania 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.
