Head of mission: Mr. Savvas Kakos, Honorary Consul (as listed in the diplomatic list of Albania, 10 Nov 2024)
Albania offers a compelling mix of growth, diverse infrastructure, and rich cultural heritage, making it an appealing destination for some travelers from Cyprus. With around 500,000 Cypriots traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Albania an attractive option for their travels.
Albania presents a mixed safety profile for tourists coming from Cyprus. According to safety rankings, Albania is 28th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, significantly lower than Cyprus, which ranks 11th. However, the Global Peace Index ranks Albania as relatively safe, positioned 42nd out of 160 countries, compared to Cyprus at 86th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Albania is 2.3 per 100,000 people, higher than Cyprus's rate of 1.3. Additionally, while Albania has a higher index for organized crime (7.0 for mafia groups and 7.5 for crime networks), it is important to note that Albania is generally considered safer than Cyprus in some areas, such as foreign crime (2.5 in Albania vs. 7.0 in Cyprus). Overall, while Albania may have certain safety concerns, it is still a popular destination for tourists, and many visitors enjoy their time there without incident. Travelers should remain vigilant and informed, as they would in any foreign country.
