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

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

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

This is outdated info IMO.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

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

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $95/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

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