It ranks 11th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, significantly safer than Albania, which ranks 28th. However, the Global Peace Index places Cyprus at 86th out of 160 countries, while Albania is ranked higher at 42nd.

Regarding organized crime, Cyprus generally scores better than Albania in several categories, including mafia groups (Cyprus 3.5 vs. Albania 7.0) and arms trafficking (Cyprus 2.5 vs. Albania 4.5). Overall, while both countries have their challenges, Cyprus is perceived as a safer option for tourists.
