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 โriver to seaโ 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.
