Back from Greece. Spent 4 days, here's the breakdown:
Accommodation: Guesthouse near the action. $55/night.
Scene: Better than expected.
Prices: Great value — cheaper than last year.
Highlights: Found a hidden gem bar away from tourists.
Overall: 9/10 — would highly recommend.
Ask me anything.
Returning to Greece after 3 years

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

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

This is outdated info IMO.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