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

Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki is very safe . In my opinion it has a very safe city centre . However be careful when you visit Aristotle’s square. If you are a solo female traveler you will feel immediately relaxed because it’s an easy city to walk around .

Avoid central athens at night - lots of immigrants and homeless people, sleeping on the ground and drugs can be seen at times. They can be there during the day too. Also be careful of pickpockets in tourist areas

You just need to be "woke" about the same things as to other big cities, avoid acharnes, ano liosia and zefiri at night spesifically, nothing extreme to see there anyway. Also omonia in the city centre attracts more dangerous people at night and colder months.

Thessaloniki
In general safe, police is very often strolling around especially in city center, very lively city you can find stores open in city center 24/7. Female travellers should be extra careful around train and bus stations
