I felt really safe and happy, the streets were interesting for me. And also the food, oh I love Greek culture!!! I stayed in hostel for erasmus plus program and it was also nice to be with the other cultures.

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🥰

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.

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

Athens is lively and welcoming, and I feel safe exploring as a solo traveler. Just keep the usual “big city rules” in mind: watch your bag on the metro (pickpockets love busy lines), avoid isolated streets late at night, and grab a taxi if an area feels sketchy. Most neighborhoods are full of people and energy, so it’s easy to enjoy museums, cafés, and walks without worry.
