Solo travel experience

Went to Athens solo last October and loved it. Very easy to get around with just English. I used Google Maps to get around and walk between the main tourist areas. I highly recommend starting the stay with one of the many free walking tours.

Solo travel experience

I traveled to Athens solo last year. It's really safe and friendly though very busy with traffic. Lots of tourists around. The Metro system is easy to use, and Uber works well. I haven't felt unsafe walking around late at night after midnight. There are always plenty of people around in Mets, Plaka, Monastiraki, etc. I recommend watching out for pickpockets and buying tickets for Acropolis in advance.
