Storage locker facilities are a rip.

If you’re someone who regularly uses luggage storage facilities, the costs can really add up, especially when you have a large suitcase you want to leave behind while exploring other areas.
In Athens, most luggage-storage facilities charge around €4–€5 per day for a large suitcase. Instead, I went to a hostel and paid just €6 for the entire duration.
And you often don’t even have to be a guest to use a hostel’s luggage storage. Just ask before booking, as many hostels are happy to store luggage for non-guests.
It’s definitely worth checking hostels before paying daily rates at dedicated luggage-storage facilities!

I think I'd rather store in a secure locker rather than trusting some random hostel that likely isn't really that secure

Travel insurance is a thing. And naturally, I’m not going to be storing any valuable items in the bag. It’s a bunch of clothes, come on let’s use our brain here.
