Thessaloniki Regional Unit, Solo travel
Thessaloniki is a beautiful city, rich in history, culture, and close enough to mt Olympus you could do a day hike with many local hiking options! I am not big on night life but my roommate and some friends were and absolutely love it. I spent a semester here for a study abroad program and would recommend it to anyone!!

Really lovely vacation, we were in Crete and it is truly recommended. The weather was very pleasant, the food fantastic and extremely cheap. It was outside of the season so it was a bit quiet; if you want more parties, it's better to go during the season.

Paros was amazing such a great island!! The food was pretty decent and the nightlife is fun! The beaches are absolutely breath taking and I would Recommend take a boat tour!! I recommend eating at Mira or balcony of Acis. I stayed in Parikia which I prefer to nausssa. Naussa is great to walk around but overly expensive in my opinion

Super chill place and so beautiful in the summer. you could honestly sleep on a mountain and camp very easily and I did exactly that. small town small minds vibe and super low crime rate. locals have a lot of reservations about the refugees in the area but everyone I met was happy to be safe and such lovely people.

Had a lovely encounter with a local who showed us around and answered all of our questions patiently. Drama is way more worth a visit than Thessaloniki or Kavala: less tourists, more historic sites and low-priced accommodations.

Rhodes, Group travel
I spent about 2 weeks in Rhodes with two of my friends and we had an amazing time! We met so many people who were all lovely, visited wonderful places and enjoyed the sun (we were lucky enough to not be hit by the heatwave). I would 100% recommend it for a girl trip and even holidays in general. The island felt super safe, we didn't any particularly bad experience during our stay and enjoyed it to the fullest! This trip made me want to come back for another stay, maybe in the future ! ✨️🇬🇷

Rhodes is a very touristic city, but instead of drunk guys, there are many couples, who Are just enjoying dinner. Sometimes you find messy streers, but thats nothing you should be worried about. Overall Rhodes Is amazing

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

Corfu
Corfu Island is the only place I’ve been where I don’t just feel safe but also comfortable walking around by myself. I have found local people are very kind and willing to help. I stayed around the city center in Corfu Town and on the other side of the island I explored Paleokastritsa and Agios Georgios (North).

Very safe walking alone at night Sometimes you see men watching at you but its a college city so no fear of going out alone and drinking taxi drivers also are very safe and if they see a girl alone will help her
Posted: October 6, 2026Athens
Most areas of Athens are very safe even if you're a tourist. Especially during the weekends, we have a good night life so you don't get to walk alone in the streets feeling unsafe. Of course there are areas with bad reputation that you probably should avoid but most of the time you feel safe and greeks are always a big flirt so you can easily make new friends without feeling unsafe

Corfu
I have only been to the town center and the Old Town and I have never witnessed or heard anything fishy. I have walked the streets at night after parties for 4 years now and they're quite safe. You need to be more careful during the summer when tourism is high. There is a specific area named Kavos where it gets messy in the summer and I believe it is where you could potentially have your drink spiked etc. Lastly, never accept a "free" boat ride or anything of the sort as there could be some...

Athens is definitely a beautiful city, but in my personal experience, I didn’t always feel safe there, especially around the Omonia area. I felt that there were some safety and crime concerns in that part of the city. Of course, everyone may have a different experience, but this was my personal impression.

Paros
Honestly one of the safest places I have ever felt visiting! I’m from the New York area so gritty is what I’m used to but this is the exact opposite!!! I never felt even slightly unsafe walking through the side streets at night or during the day and everyone is extremely friendly

Heeeyyy! 🧚🏼♀️ I was born and raised in Thessaloniki so I know my way around, and can give you recs! I'm a fashion designer, really passionate about sustainability, and supporting slow fashion as well. 🌱 I really like dancing and generally listening to live music. I love exploring new cafes and bars and learning about other cultures. Usually you will find me on cafés chilling alone or with friends! If the weather is not that good usually I'm chilling in my house drawing, making little things or watching movies. 🍹💃🏼 And because I was raised in a little village, I really enjoy spending time in nature, so in the weekends I usually go hiking or I plan little adventures away from the city. 🏞️ Hope to meet beautiful souls while travelling or hosting! ☀️💚 Looking forward to meeting you! 🌸 Amaryllis
