How safe is Greece?
Regina
Greece is a safe country. Of course, there are areas where you could potentially be robbed, but there's no need to avoid the entire country. You should be particularly cautious in the metro and on buses with your personal belongings. Also, keep in mind that if something unfortunate happens, it's not always the fault of the Greeks; there are people from almost all nationalities living here. Despite these precautions, you can enjoy a country with sun nearly all year round, great weather, numerous cultural monuments, and of course, the sea.
Posted: April 28, 2024In my opinion, Greece is no longer safe. You may feel safe when you walk around but there are many weird and creepy guys who may follow you or start talking to you and make you uncomfortable and worried. Be careful and stay safe

I felt very safe in Greece. I was there on a holiday trip with my family, and we went to Paros, Naxos & Athen. It was absolutely stunning and amazing. The food is great, and the atmosphere is great. I even went out on nights alone, and I felt so safe:)

Feel really safe in every places. Recommendation to visit the Islands. The food is too expensive for the quality, as in Italy. Locals are really friendly, we enjoyed to stay in homestay. You can travel by boat easily.

I travelled to Greece in 2020 and the experience was amazing. I travelled with a group and experience many different areas and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I would definitely go back and visit some of the other islands that I did not get to see. I was a bit disappointed to see how they live where their homes were, but overall it was a great experience, the tourist that I went on were fantastic. I got to meet a lot of wonderful people and experience the culture of Greece.
