Quick question for the Greece regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?

I was there last year and had a great time but I've heard some crackdowns happened.

Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?

Cheers

Adding my experience from last month.

The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

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

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.

Spent about $107/day all-in. Quality was excellent.

My tip: go early evening for best selection.

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

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

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Did you use dating apps or find girls at clubs?
