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🥰

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

I’m 23 years old, recently statistics graduated from Greece. I’m in Amsterdam for Erasmus internship in an ngo for good living. My hobby is learning as many different possible things for life and cultures. I love to travel but not as tourist but as adventure. That why I want to connect with locals and to create good connections and learning from them.

Hi, I am Andriana and I am 18 years old. I finally finished school and now I am ready to explore the beauty of every country! I love meeting new friends and to discover new hidden places around the word (and of course to capture them in my old camera). Now that I finished school, I am learning german in my university (of phycology). Thus, I really really want to go to Germany or Austria or Switzerland in order to practice my german. If anyone lives in these countries, I really want to chat with you so as to meet you in the future☺️
