Estimated survival rate
98%
of 175 recent r/GreeceTravel posts we sampled were still publicly visible about a day later.
How this is measured
Estimate. We sample recent public posts and check again about 18 hours later to count how many are still publicly visible. Posts removed at the moment of submission never become publicly visible at all, so the true removal rate is at least this high. Last sampled Oct 21, 2026.
r/GreeceTravel rules: what actually gets removed
Each rule below is paired with the way it is most likely enforced. Where the rules state a number, we quote it. Where they do not, we say so instead of guessing.
1.Posts must relate to travel and tourism in Greece.
Enforcement variesThis subreddit is intended for those travelling as a tourist within Greece. General posts about travel, airlines, accommodations, or other destinations should be posted in r/travel or r/flights. Posts that belong in other subreddits will be removed or redirected. It's OK to report on a negative experience, especially with an explanation about what happened, but broad "don't come to Greece" posts will be removed.
2.Be civil. No politics.
Enforcement variesHarassment of other users or mods, trolling, posting of users' personal information, repeated intentional rule-breaking, hijacking another user's thread to complain about concerns with the sub or Mods, or other general unsavoury behaviour will be met with bans. No politics, no racist comments, no targeting a group of people. We take this rule very seriously and will enact it as necessary to keep up the quality of information in this sub.
3.Be supportive. Don't insult choices already made.
Enforcement variesA variation of "Be Civil”: what we mean here is when a user posts "I've booked to go to Mykonos and Santorini”, we will not tolerate comments telling the user why they should NOT go to Mykonos, etc. If they ask if they SHOULD go to Mykonos, then feedback is fair game. We strive to be supportive. If you can't help guide a user, feel free to ignore the post and move on.
4.No low-effort posts allowed.
Enforcement variesNo low effort posts, Chat GPT, polls or videos. Be specific :Include information such as: Where you're starting; YOUR dates of travel; budget; general interests or things you like to do. This information can have a significant impact on the suggestions the community provides to you. Posts that contain minimal information ("Where should I go?"), excessively broad questions ("Tips for Athens?"), or other low effort / karma-gleaning posts ("I miss Greece!") will be removed.
5.No easily searchable questions
Enforcement variesWe are not your travel agents, and it is not the job of the sub to fill the gaps in your itinerary for you. This includes questions that can be answered with a simple Internet search (like “Top 10 things to do in X?” and “What’s the sea temperature in July in y?”). This sub is best used to seek information on experiences from other travellers. We prefer “Should I do A or B” type questions where opinions matter.
6.No self promotion allowed.
Enforcement variesThe primary goal of content should be to start a discussion. If the primary outcome of your post, regardless of your original intent, is to drive traffic to your blog/vlog/Instagram/portfolio/business/etc., it will be removed. NOTE: There are two exceptions to this rule. 1. The content directly addresses a question by the OP (e.g. Where to stay in Santorini, we will allow a link to a recommended hotel, etc.). 2. We have a weekly thread on Tuesday. You may promote self-promoting content there.
7.No solicitation or selling posts allowed.
Enforcement variesThis includes both offering to sell or buy on another user’s behalf or requesting someone to do this for you. Examples include souvenir/merchandise purchase requests, accommodation/restaurant booking requests, survey or crowdsourcing requests, event ticket purchasing requests, selling unused hotel rooms, or location photo/video requests. Posts that violate this rule will be removed.
8.No drug related posts
Enforcement variesNo posts asking where or how to purchase drugs (including marijuana) in Greece.
9.Trip reports are welcome on this subreddit.
Enforcement variesIf you are going to share your experience by writing a trip report, review, guide, or set of tips, please make sure you do so in an organized and detailed fashion. Such posts should be made as text posts only, with any photos or relevant external content linked within the post. Trip reports that simply link to a video or external blog will be removed. If you want to link to your own blog, look for the weekly Tuesday self-promo post and put the link there.
r/GreeceTravel does not publish karma or account-age minimums in its rules. Subreddits often enforce unpublished filters on top of what they write down, which is why posts from new accounts can vanish without a message here.
Can you self-promote in r/GreeceTravel?
Mostly no. r/GreeceTravel restricts self-promotion and only allows the narrow exception its rule spells out. The sub's own wording: "No self promotion allowed. If the primary outcome of your post is to drive traffic to your blog/vlog/Instagram/portfolio/business/etc., it…". Anything outside that exception, like a standalone launch or product post, gets removed.

What gets removed in r/GreeceTravel
Self-promotion
r/GreeceTravel restricts self-promo to the narrow exception its rule allows. Standalone product links and launch posts are removed.
Low karma or a new account
r/GreeceTravel publishes no karma or age minimum, but unpublished account filters are common at this size. New accounts should comment before posting.
AI-generated content
r/GreeceTravel removes content it judges to be AI-generated. Obvious AI phrasing in a draft raises removal risk even when a human wrote most of it.
Reddit's sitewide spam filter
A separate layer before the subreddit ever sees your post. New accounts posting links, URL shorteners, and repeated domains are its favorite targets. Removals are instant and silent.
A shadowbanned account
If the account itself is shadowbanned, every post looks live to you and invisible to everyone else, in any subreddit.

r/GreeceTravel posting questions
Can I post links in r/GreeceTravel?
Yes. r/GreeceTravel accepts link posts. The usual sitewide traps still apply: URL shorteners, affiliate parameters, and brand-new domains get filtered fast, and promotional links are judged against the sub's self-promo rules. One clean link to the original source is the safe pattern.
Does r/GreeceTravel require karma to post?
r/GreeceTravel does not publish a karma minimum. That does not mean there is none: many subreddits enforce unpublished karma and account-age filters that remove posts silently. If your account is new or has little karma, that is the first thing to rule out when a post disappears.
Is r/GreeceTravel strict?
Moderate, by our estimate (30/100 on our strictness scale, from its measured removal rate, 9 rules, and its stated gates). About 2% of recent posts disappeared within a day in our sample. Strictness is about enforcement, not hostility: a strict sub is predictable if you follow its rules.
Does r/GreeceTravel allow AI-generated content?
No. r/GreeceTravel removes content it judges to be AI-generated. That includes obviously AI-phrased text even when a human edited it, so rewrite drafts in your own voice before posting here.
What is the best time to post in r/GreeceTravel?
Based on our sample of recent and top posts, activity and scores peak around Sunday 8am UTC and Sunday 2pm UTC. Treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee: a post that breaks a rule gets removed at any hour. The heatmap on this page converts these windows to your local time.
Why do posts get removed in r/GreeceTravel?
The most common reasons are self-promotion violations, plus the layers every subreddit has: Reddit's sitewide spam filter, unpublished AutoMod rules, and account-level gates like karma and age. In our recent sample, roughly 2% of r/GreeceTravel posts disappeared within about a day of going up. Many removals are silent, so checking your draft first beats finding out after.
