Many people say that Athens Greece is dangerous at night especially around the Omonia Square neighborhood. I walk around Omonia Square at midnight On August 31, 2023 as I head to my hotel and to see how dangerous or safe it is at this time of night.
If you are wondering if it is safe to stay at a hotel around Omonia, have a look at this video so you can judge for yourself.

As a Greek I think that if you avoid this places then you can have one of the best vacations ever ! BUT beware of the surrounding areas ( the little streets in omonoia) bcs they can get REALLY dangerous. The Reason that everyone thinks that omonoia isnt that bad is because of the fact that criminals don't go and steal stuff at the centre of omonoia . They are on the neighborhoods which are surrounding the omonoia square! I Quarantee you that if you go on this neighborhoods you'll find a lot of drug dealers+ people that do drugs!

If you want to go to the actual ghetto or cartel areas of Athens go to Zefyri,Ano Liosia,Menidi . Omonoia is super safe next to these places 😂😂

Omonoia generally is much safer than 15 years ago, there are just some streets around that place that need some caution during the night

Hey Nick, I watched your earlier video about Omonia, among other videos on here. I stayed there about a month ago (Acropol Hotel) and felt pretty safe around the main square area. We did wander to the north west a few streets around dusk and decided to turn back, it didn't feel intimidating just a bit more confined and enclosed. We also went north to the Archaeological in the early evening and that felt fine. I've seen worse places on my travels and liked the easy access down Athinas to Monastiraki and other places. Despite the fact it gets bad press, I felt generally safe, though kept my wits about me - I'd stay there again. Take care and nice follow up video!

I hope you had a good time in Kalamata (my mom’s birth city)and hope you enjoyed some lalágia (fried dough)! I was in Athens Nov of ‘23 and thought Omonia looked cleaned up and beautiful! Like anywhere in the world one needs to be aware of their surroundings and exercise caution especially at night. Thank you for the video!

Good one my friend! Some parts of the world is more safe thsn others. Depends if you are at the right place at the right time or like me getting a gun in my face in a cafe in Beirut in the middle of the day, in 1987 just because the shithead owner did`nt like my long hair. You never ever know......so trust your gut. Thanks for walking the streets.

Hello NIck you should know that from June till the end of September the government ''cleans up'' the area for the touristic period. Kato Patisia are more dangerous than Omonia DT. I leave in the area since i was six years old and now i am 43 nothing happened to me except one time . Many respect. O and Athens is not Greek anymore.

@ToGoIsToKnow 7 месяцев назад
My mother grew up in Kato Patissia and I have an aunt that still lives in the building my grandfather built. I think it is much safer than Omonia. That's the area I stay in when I come to Greece.

We came Athens 2 days ago with my girlfriend.Before we came we had thought we would see nice, safe streets because of videos on youtube. Now we definately think exact opposite, streets are full of scary immigrant, dark-skinned people ,also whole streets smell piss, It is really possible that you are attacked by those or stolen.We have been attacked by weed eater twice on side streed in Omonia.

@Kapito13 9 месяцев назад
Athens doesn't have ghettos in the American way. So it's unlikely that you'll have much trouble walking around at night as the average tourist. BUT There is 0 reason for anyone to wander around Omonoia (and particularly the streets around it) at night. As others have said, it's dirty and dangerous (compared with walking elsewhere). So if you can, please avoid it.

هذا هراء من اين جئت بهذه المعلومات. انا كل سنة مرتين ازور اثينا واسكن في فندق الما هوتيل في ساحة امونيا ودائما في الليل اذهب والف في ساحة امونيا الى ساعات متاخرة من الليل ولم اواجه اي مشكلة. اما انك تذهب في الازقة الضيفة من جهة شارع اخر نون او الشوارع الضيقة بجانب مونسترتكي ليلا. اكيد سوف تصادفك مشكلة وفي كل عواصم العالم في ساعات متاخرة من الليل الازقة الضيقة تكون خطرة. اذن ماذا تقول عن امستردام او روتردام في الازقة الضيقة مساءا الخطورة لاتتجاوز 1٪ في اثينا بالنسبة الى روتردام وامستردام او فرانكفورت.

Spending the last years predominantly in these areas you explore I really don't think it is dangerous. I have never been attacked or felt unsafe and I know many non-Greek ladies who moved to Viktorias and love it. As you can tell from the comments a lot of this 'it is dangerous' idea comes from xenophobia (there sadly is still this idea that brown and black people are not safe) and the dirt. Yes the area is dirty and has a lot of junkies but they keep to themselves. Growing up in London we had dirt, junkies and well gangs who would indiscriminately attack you, not even for money just because. So for me it is safe. For example I have had several attempted attacks in Barcelona but people don't call it a dangerous city. I do agree that in the past there was more of a gang culture and threat in this part of Athens but really these days it is fine.
