Thessaloniki, Solo travel
I love my trips to Thessaloniki, with my friend group there we go to bars and on hikes. I've been seeing them every summer and will always recommend and prefer this city over any touristic island in Greece

The food and hotel service was amazing. I really enjoyed the view and food. People weren't as nice as they wete in Kavala but still Greek people are kind in general. Locals usually know English so you won't struggle with communication. I recommend eating seafood in Greece.

I love greece and I've been several times since but Crete was one of my previous travel.I went with my family and it's still a really good memory I have. Good food, cats, warm and welcoming people and of course good meteo and landscapes.

Piraeus
Piraeus is a safe city in general. Avoid walking at might close to the port area, train & metro at the port area. You should mind your personal belongings while you are in the train/metro and the port. It is safe to walk around the center and the marina area.

Overall pretty safe, most crime is about house robberies, or theft in general. Mostly during the night though. I would be careful walking at night in the places marked on the map, during the day its okay.

Athens at night can be dangerously especially it these areas: Omonia, Monastiraki, Sepolia, Menidi, Kypseli, Victoria, Kolonos. Especially if you are a girl unfortunately you need to be very careful and to stay always in big open areas not small neighbourhood’s streets
Posted: April 21, 2026Athens
Athens is relatively alright except for these areas. I know that hotels/rbnb's/hostels in these areas may seem cheap but there's a reason for that. I would rather pay a bit more and stay at a place where I can walk safely at night. As a person who has family in some of these areas if you can avoid them at night do it.

Hi! My name is Maria I am an easy going person with a lot of humour and a healthy craziness. I currently live in Kozani Greece. I like travelling and I prefer hosting because I think it is safer to have another woman having your back. I am a digital nomad and here in Kozani I am the last 2 months, before I was in Thessaloniki. I love travelling and with my job I can do it easily. I would love to host you and discover Kozani together or maybe you could host me at my next travel. I have a dog as well that I love very much and we are always together so it is necessary to love dogs
