Been thinking about visiting Greece and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to the Philippines?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Best time to visit Greece

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.
