Which is a better value/experience, Greece or Hawaii?

Me and one of my girl best friends (we’re both 23) are planning a vacation in the summer and it’s either to Greece or Hawaii. Our budget each is $4-5k and we would split the hotel. I’m a transgender woman who is Hispanic and my friend is Jamaican American. So I was wondering which place or if both are generally safe for us to go (I mean Hawaii seems pretty obvious). My passport also has my biological sex and name so that’s why I’m more worried about my presentation vs my legal documents.

I would also like to know which is likely more scenic/exotic from where we are from (Northeast U.S.) and a better value for the price. Flights in June for example seem to be about $1-1.5k to either Greece or Hawaii (Hawaii is slightly cheaper) but I know everyone says Hawaii is very expensive. Any hotel recommendations as well as any other tips, I would be happy to hear. Thank you!
