- Omonia Athens: This is a walking tour starting in the Omonia Metro Station in Athens Greece. I walk around Omonia Square in the day when it is less dangerous. Omonia Athens is dangerous at night with much crime, drugs and homeless people. I do not recommend walking around Omonia at night.
If you visit omonoia at night it will remind you of gta san adreas
Okay here we go, stayed at the brown acropol hotel in omonia square for 4 nights in may 2022,lovely hotel and staff were so warm and friendly so much so we are returning next year in June for 10 nights, as for the square itself we are from the north of England from a place called Preston and I felt safer walking omonia than in my home town, yes it is run down in areas yes there are beggars on the streets, please tell me a city in the world where this doesn't exist, but overall the people were super friendly and really pleased to see and interact with us tourists, many people probably pick plaka as there go to place in Athens and while it is lovely please don't give other areas a bad rap before you try, as my dad used to say it's only a small step from park Avenue to skid row, it can happen to anyone so just to finish, we did take advice about safety regarding pickpockets etc. But like i said before every major city has them, enjoy Athens it is truly a remarkable city and can't wait to return 🇬🇷
Well said. I was just in Omonia . It looks a lot nicer with the fountains in the middle working now.
You are so right. I have been for a week now here in Athen as atourist and I am from Stockholm ( sweden ) .Omonia is one of my favorit area. Just love it
Great going to Athens next year and will stay there
Exaggerations, I've been there on foot day and night, till early hours of the morning, countless times. Nothing ever happened, it looks sketchy, with some people there, some addicts but noone really comes directly at you, except some to beg for a few change. Yes there might be pickpockets around, most of the times you won't even know it happened to you, still try to avoid crowds, be alert for your things and you are generally safe.
This is not Athens anymore, this something between Zimbabwe and Islamabad 😂😂 We the Athenians call it Athenamabad 🤣🤣 This is what happened when you elect corrupted politicians year after year.
And the police are assholes. I have experience with those Greek police. Savages
A very underrated city
Yeah,my hometown is fascinating.
I agree.
This is a safe place how can anyone call it sketchy. The streets aren’t uneven I suggest you go to India or Bali
It's not someplace that local Greeks want to go.
Why compare it with Asian countries and not a European countries as it is. I'm a Greek AUSTRALIAN and I travelled to ISTANBUL so clean so beautiful. I lived in GREECE for 12 yrs from 1973 - 1985 OMONIA was beautiful clean in those days unlike today dirty streets, graffiti everywhere, uneven footpaths & roads, dirty & deserted shop front windows the whole area needs a good overhaul. No comment on human discrimination, discrepancies & inequalities. 9:57
I stayed here unknowingly but survived no issues. Wasn't much to do in this area at night.
Good!
i was there..i worked there 2 years.Average place...if u are tourist,and if you are worker is worst,cuz u sleep in coves...not homes...with low rent..
Omonia is not a safe Area day and night , and police 👮♀️ in Athens Specially in omonia are not helpful, there are many pickpockets in omonia ,
Hi. Thanks for the video. I read that Omonia Square was in the process being renovated ( to make it improve it). Did you see any signs of that?
Well it seems they are doing construction in the middle circle of Omonia. There are metal sheets up blocking it off. I'm not sure what they are building though.

I was there in 2000 😐😐
Was there in November 2022...it was quite vibrant at night too. Didn't come across any miscreants or untoward incidents....Being one of the busiest central metro stations, the presence of cops ensured safety. Seems like the authorities have worked on the safety measures and the changes are visible...Oh yes, the big illuminated and dancing fountain at the center makes the night stroll and the view lovely 👍
I think it is a lot better now.
That was then, Omonia Square has changed a lot and has a stunning fountain in the center. I've stayed in 3 hotel very close to the square, the migrants know not to cause any problems as the Greek authority will intervene. Like most places at night, be aware of your surroundings!
My memory of Greece and Omonoia SQ are lovely. I lived in Athens in the 80s. Hope to go back before I die. Irish love to the Greek nation.
Definitely try to come back as soon as you can.
It’s such a shame to see your own fear destroying your experience and potentially putting others off, Omonia isn’t any more dangerous than anywhere else... not a single person bothered you on this or the night time walking video. Whenever and wherever you travel you need to pay attention and keep your wits about you. In my personal experience, Omonia is not bad at all and actually well worth giving a chance. I will be back there in November and have chosen to stay in that area again. Also, Palia Omonia restaurant is an absolute gem for anybody wanting incredible, honest Athenian food.... ooh, and don’t miss Attika patisserie 🤤
I did the walk from Viktoria to Omonia to show people what it was like so they can make up their own minds. You are right, no one did bother me on that walk. But different people have different levels of where they feel safe or not. Some may think it is fine, while others may not. I didn't think Omonia was that bad especially in the day time until I talked to the girl selling sim cards by the metro and she was telling me things about what goes on in Omonia even in the day time. It won't stop me from going there, but it may make some people reconsider staying in that area.
It's dangerous....
I am sure that you havent been there at night so you dont know what you are talking about!!!!! I dare you to do the same filming at night and see the result.
I already walked from Viktoria to Amonia along Archanon at night. Stay tuned for the video.
No lights at night. Why not have lights ?
Omonia has much migrants from Syria and other lands of Africa. But, it is beuty with people of different country. Athens so beauty land.
Very useful and useful comments as well .
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
Ominia the African selling drugs
Avoid Omonoia and surrounding areas at all costs plus nothing to see just rundown buildings and people
I will live in a hotel 200 meters from the Omonia metro station. What is the latest hour now to go as safely as possible?
now its way safer than before ! the partie changed so the new one want it to be more safe so they have more police and its safer than before way safer!
Beautiful city omonia......im from OMAN
Hello
@@polish-greek lol Yeah, if you're white it might be safer. If you're non-white, less so. 55% of the Police Force have voted for the neonazi party
