Best and worst of Greece

Your best and your worst moments in Greece, told by the visitors and locals who lived them. Share yours, good or bad, so the next visitor knows what to look for and what to avoid.

How to share yours. Press Share a best or Share a worst under the right board and your email app opens a message to hello@heartgreece.com with the board already in the subject. Tell us what happened, where (the island, town or area is enough), and when (month and year). Sign with your first name or initials and say that we may publish it. Every story is read by a person before it appears, usually within 48 hours.

  2. No full names of staff, drivers or other guests, and no photos of people.
  3. If you name a business, describe what happened. The business can answer, and we publish its answer beside your story.
  4. No personal data, no links, no attachments, no promotion of your own business.
  5. We may shorten a story or correct its spelling, and we will not publish anything abusive, defamatory, discriminatory or unlawful.
  6. We publish your first name or initials only. Write to hello@heartgreece.com at any time and we take your story down.
  7. Something wrong with a story about you or your business? Write to hello@heartgreece.com with the page and the reason; we look at every request within 48 hours.

The same rules apply as in our forum rules (in English and Greek), and the way we handle reviews is set out in how reviews work. If something went wrong and you need help now, the emergency and health numbers are on Practical info.
