It was a 2 day trip with my school's hiking group. On the first day, we went to the nearby town of Matala, which is considered a "hippie town" where we stayed as well. The actual hike was the second day, we headed off the morning from the lake "Zaros", the hike was unforgettable, especially since we were all joking around and enjoying ourselves and we didn't even notice when we arrived at our destination. In some places the route was steep and one of my friend was frightened from the height but we managed to get over that joinly.

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.

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.
