Planning my first trip to Greece in the next few months. I've read through a lot of the older threads but wanted to check if the info is still current.

My main questions:
- Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
- Realistic daily budget?
- Any areas to avoid?
- How welcoming are the locals to foreign visitors?

I'm coming from Canada and have experience in Latin America but this would be my first time in Greece.

Thanks for any help!

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

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

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

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

Spent about $71/day all-in. Quality was good.

My tip: avoid weekends.

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

Did you use an agency or find girls at online?

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

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

100% agree. The variety is hard to beat.
