Greece is a very safe country and Athens is the safest capital in Europe. Having said that, there is no guarantee to be given as the Athens area is 4.5 million people with a lot of illegal aliens. Petty crimes do occur. Keep your passport and money close to you if you are in public transport.
You need not worry about religious or racial discrimination

HELLO

GREETİNGS FROM TURKEY

WHAT STUPID REMARKS, THEY DO THIS IN TURKEY SECTION TOO. IS IT SAFE, WHERE İS İT BLA BLA

IF YOU ARE GOING SOMEWHERE AS A TOURIST AND WİTH GOOD İNTENSİON NOBODY AND NOTHING WİLL HARM ANYBODY. EVEN IF YOU ARE A TURK OR A MUSLIM.

DO WE HURT THE GREEK TOURISTS WHO COME TO TURKEY ? SO WHY SHOULD THEY ?

I wonder where you get this information from. As a Greek I lived and worked in Turkey for 6 months and I have the best memories.

Just think that 15.000.000 million tourists visit Greece every summer, including muslims and Turks. Do you think that all those like to risk their lives?

And at last but not least, the same goes for Turkey.

Bon voyage!

well as long as you dont get hit by a car, the only danger is the crazy driving...

safe you say? i can say that here is more safe than US

nola

Safe for Americans. My friend went there for like 6 months.

I am a single American woman (even though my name is Jeffrey, believe me...I am indeed a female...just have an unusual name!) and I have lived in Athens for almost 2 years. I feel completely safe everywhere I go, and I have been all over the city and the country. I feel very comfortable walking around by myself at all hours of the night or day, if I happen to choose to be out late. If I am out with friends and we part ways at the end of our time together, I don't feel that I need anyone to accompany me. Generally speaking, the only crimes I ever hear of are things like purse-snatchings or something, so one should never assume that NOTHING will happen if you are careless. But I do not fear for my personal safety at all. Again, I'm not careless and I don't usually walk down dark deserted alleyways or something, but I feel perfectly safe everywhere that I go.

1. Yes.
2. Probably not, unless they take unnecessary risks such as walking alone in dark streets downtown flaunting their wealth.
3. Yes. In fact, many muslims live here.
4. Yes, unless they go out of their way looking for trouble.
5. No. They are not more likely to beat muslims than christians, Jews, or Budhists.
6. I don;t understand the question.

I am from the USA and I go also alone all around sometimes in Athens and Halkidiki area without any fear. Most of times I am with my Greek friends but even then we walk nights late and early morning hours and I never felt threatened in any way. Have been going every year for soon to be my 8th trip....as one answered..its safer than here in the states to walk on the streets at night.

10 percent of the people living in Greece ARE indeed muslims. I believe that answers your question.

All the answerers have already said it. Yes, it is as safe as it can be. You can also check similar previous questions

Any where you visit, common sense should keep you safe.But,living here myself,I find many Greeks do not care for Americans,British or Turks.That said,unless you go out looking for trouble,you are as safe here as in any other metropolitan area.Half the time who can tell by looking at you what nationality or religeon you are?

I think that the game is continuing,and I am not laughing at all...
Well, I ll reply you, even though I dont believe so much that it is so innocent..
First of all my dear, concerning security, i dont think that in USA there is so so much,we are watching tv...
In the big cities everywhere there is danger...
If you ask the muslim minority and comunity, they say that it is the only country where they have been so well wellcome....
And concerning the turks....we havent killed anyone here, the opposite, they come, and they have their right to be afraid, because in both countries the states fanatise people but they live with the best impresions...So, it s up to you to do comments...And please...
