Group travel

I felt really safe and happy, the streets were interesting for me. And also the food, oh I love Greek culture!!! I stayed in hostel for erasmus plus program and it was also nice to be with the other cultures.

Solo travel

I feel safe.It was such a good experience for me as it was my first solo travel.I felt so powerful and selfconfidence. I have also enjoyed a lot. It was nice to decide by your oen where to go and see.

Solo travel

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🥰

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.

Couple travel

I felt really safe in Athens - no one was harassing or anything but maybe it’s because I was traveling with my partner. The food was amazing and tried so many authentic restaurants like Diporto. And took the boat to Egina and that was really nice too

I feel pretty safe in Athens, you have to be aware of pickpockets as in most big cities. If you're in any public transportation I would recommend having your bag in front of you, and be aware of your things, and you won't have any issues. In the streets people will come up to you, sometimes selling roses, sometimes playing instruments, a lot of the time kids will come to you and ask for money, don't offer anything and don't take the roses, just politely decline, sometimes they'll stay there staring at you until they leave, try to ignore it, if you're with somebody you can continue your conversation, they will leave and they were never aggressive or violent, it's just a bit awkward.

Depends on the neighbourhood I would say. I feel safe where I live and where I go out (Exarchia, Gyzi, Kypseli). I don’t really know about other places, that’s the problem. Some people say it is less safe around Omonia and Karaiski square, mostly because people that do drugs live there in the streets around from what I’ve heard. So their advice is to stay in big streets and avenues there when it’s the night. I’ve been there at night, and stayed in the big avenues, and I’ve never had any problems even at 4am.

Athens is a relatively safe city. There are parts of the city that you definitely need to pay attention to when visiting, as in every city, (like Omonia), but in general if you remain careful and you avoid controversial hours in the evening, you can enjoy a safe trip in Athens.

Athens is safe in general, you can walk safely in the morning in all city. Generally you have to be aware of your stuff especially in the means of transport. Also you should not trust the people that are begging and requesting money from you. In the night, there are some places that you have to avoid also, just like in every big city. But generally is safe city

It’s ok unless u go on specific places like the small roads of metaxourgeio or plateia bathis or kato patisia everywhere that Greeks mostly stay is safe and I don’t mean it in a racist way but everywhere that Middle East people stay is not safe there are high crime rates raping rates and junkies everywhere so PLEASE be careful it’s like going to a ghetto or sth avoid omonoia kato patisia plateia vathis strath larisis liosion even exarhia even tho exarhia is ok and full of student places
