Quick question for the Greece regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there in 2024 and had a great time but I've heard things are quieter than usual.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $132/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

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

This is outdated info IMO.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