Terms of use

Version 1.0 · Last updated 2026-11-12

These terms apply when you use Popular Greece (“the service”), run by Dimitris Kougioumtzis, Greece (“we”, “us”). By using the service you accept them. How we handle personal data is explained in our privacy policy.

1. What the service is

Popular Greece is a free service that helps you find places worth seeing, on a map and in lists, starting with Greece and expanding to other European countries. You can browse without an account. With an account you can save lists of places and share them.

2. Accounts

• You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.
• Give accurate information, in particular an email address you control, and keep it up to date.
• Keep your password secret and do not reuse it on other sites. Tell us at dimitris@dimkoug.com if you think someone else has access to your account.
• One account is for one person. Do not share it or create accounts for others or in bulk.
• You can delete your account at any time.

3. Acceptable use

You must not:

• scrape, crawl or download the service's data in bulk, or use automated tools that place an unreasonable load on it (normal search-engine indexing is welcome);
• try to break, overload or get around the security of the service, or access accounts that are not yours;
• use the service for anything unlawful;
• put unlawful, offensive, hateful or infringing content, or other people's personal data, in list names or other text you enter.

4. Your lists and shared links

You remain responsible for the lists you create and their names. A shared list link is not secret once you give it out: anyone who has the link can see the list name, your display name and the places, and can pass the link on. You can make the list private again at any time, which disables the link. You allow us to store and display your lists as needed to provide the service. We may remove or make private content that breaks these terms, and we will tell you when we do so unless the law prevents it.

5. Third-party content and licences

• Map data and map tiles: © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License (ODbL); see openstreetmap.org/copyright.
• Descriptions from Wikipedia and photos from Wikimedia Commons are used under their own licences, typically Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA). The author and licence are shown next to each item; reuse them under that licence, not under these terms.
• Links to other websites (for example for directions) lead to services we do not control; their own terms apply.

6. No guarantee of accuracy

Information about places comes largely from open sources and may be incomplete, out of date or wrong. We give no guarantee about the existence, accessibility, safety or opening hours of any place, or about routes and directions. Check important details on site and with official sources before you travel, and follow local rules and signs.

7. Liability

The service is provided free of charge and “as is”. We try to keep it available but do not promise it will always work without interruption or errors. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect loss or for loss caused by relying on information about places. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for intent or gross negligence or for death or personal injury, and nothing affects your mandatory rights as a consumer.

8. Ending use

You can stop using the service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, after warning you where reasonable. We may also change or discontinue the service; if we close it, we will give account holders reasonable notice so they can export their lists.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example when we add features. The version and date at the top show the current text. We will tell account holders about important changes by email before they take effect. If you do not agree, you can delete your account; continuing to use the service after the change means you accept it.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Greece. If you are a consumer living in another EU country, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer law of your country and may bring proceedings in your local courts. EU consumers can also use alternative dispute resolution bodies in their country.
