The verdict

For most travellers, the choice comes down to what kind of week you're really after. Singapore leans city + family, while Greece leans beach + cultural. Greece wins on value (~$130/day mid-range vs $170/day in Singapore), but Singapore tends to deliver a more polished, higher-spend experience. Neither is wrong — pick by personality, not by ranking.
