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.

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

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

This is outdated info IMO.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

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

This matches my experience. Greece is one of my favorites.
