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

I love this city with all my heart. I went there for the first time on a school trip and there were a lot of things to do. I visited it again in February, because a friend of mine is studying there. I loved it even more , the food was amazing, it has plenty of pretty coffee shops were you can chat and spend quality time with your friends, and you can find several activities to do. My favourite was a horror escape room we visited, I thought it was an amazing and funny experience. But my...

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.

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

If u don’t know some locals at least be with friends. At night, the center it’s kinda okay.. but if u go like 1-2 klm away form it , not recommended to be alone . And don’t try at 3 in the morning to walk back to your place alone if it’s not 10min walk (max). Just be with a friend:3

Athens
Athens is safe enough that millions visit without major incident, but it is not relaxed or low-effort like quieter European cities. You will likely encounter uncomfortable scenes (drugs, begging, tension) if you explore freely. Treat every outing like you’re in a big, gritty city: stay in well-lit, populated areas, keep your guard up at all times, and prioritize convenience over saving a few euros on a hotel. If you’re risk-averse, family with kids, or a first-time visitor, base yourself firmly...
