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 Germany?

Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

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

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Adding my experience from last month.

The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.

Excellent write-up. This is why this forum is the best resource out there.
