I was just there. Felt fine except for a particular student neighborhood in Athens where I hid my Magen David necklace. Lots of Palestinian flags and “river to sea” graffiti and posters.

I was there on my honeymoon... proudly wearing my Magen David necklace... didn't have any issues! My husband also looks quite Jewish. Maybe a couple dirty looks but I could have imagined that.

This trip was planned prior to the war so we didn't expect to get into this situation... Is the general public hostile towards us?... No i wouldnt say so. ... No real need to be concerned in general. Millions of Israelis have visited Greece and been fine, after all.
