Is it safe for American girls (in their 20s) to travel to Athens, Greece? |
Travel Info There are 3 of us that will be in Athens for about 2 days this July. Travel Tips Yeah, it will be safe, always safer in numbers too. Just one thing, being greek myself and family is from Greece, be careful with your money. They have been known to try and scam americans/tourists... so count your change and let them know over charge you on things. This is coming from a greek who has been to Greece several times, and they even try to scam my dad, and my dad is from there, lol! But they hear us speaking english and they will try their best to scam, thats why lots of tourists have been going to Turkey, b/c its cheaper and they arent being ripped off. Plus, Greek men have a wandering eye, just like the Italians.... so be on the look out for that! Have fun, it is a beautiful country, just sucks when you go there to visit family! Happy Travels! Source(s): Fellow Greek and avid traveler. Other Travel Tips Well, it may not be that safe for prettier girls like you and your friends. Why not? Greece is a safe country and all good people are welcomed Let me put it this way. It a hell of a lot safer than New York city I have already said, that it depends on which kind of safety you are talking about. Concerning men, dont worry, the greeks, are not animals to the women, and they are not hungry so they dont attack any woman as sonn as they see her, one of the reason is that greek girls are among the most beautiful girls in the world.Other reason is that Greece is a touristic country, so, we always pay attention to the behavoiur towards the tourism... BUT:Dont forget, that the situation, concerning safety and robberies, has changed a little bit lately, because of the immigration, and in this case, you must be careful in some destricts like in Omonia, or in some other places around the centre(I guess you ll be there), especially during the night.Take care of your bag, dont walk in isolated places in the late night,and dont trust anyone. With the greeks personally you ll not have problem.As soon as you report something, people will be on your side, and we are always helpful. Avoid as I told you the Omonia square during the night, and the destrict around it... Have a nice travel, and enjoy it... Who told you the opposite? Do you think that Athens is a city where there are not beautiful women and men just wait for american women to come and rape them? Would you like to be informed how I' ve been attacked by a drunk american tourist, without any reason, just in front of my office? Off with these silly, provocative and offensive answers..... |
