Back from Greece. Spent 5 days, here's the breakdown:
Accommodation: Airbnb near the action. $60/night.
Scene: Better than expected.
Prices: Slightly higher than expected.
Highlights: The GFE experience here is next level.
Overall: 8.5/10 — exceeded expectations.
Ask me anything.
Greece — just got back, quick review

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

This is outdated info IMO.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