Greece is an appealing destination for some Belarusian travelers, thanks to its stunning islands, rich cultural heritage, and diverse landscapes. With around 500,000 Belarusians traveling abroad annually, a portion of them may find Greece particularly attractive for its blend of history and modern appeal.
Greece is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Belarus. While it ranks 32nd out of 40 countries for safety when walking alone at night, it is safer than Belarus, which ranks 38th. According to the Global Peace Index, Greece is ranked 40th out of 160 countries, significantly safer than Belarus, which is ranked 110th. In terms of crime statistics, Greece has a lower murder rate of 0.9 per 100,000 people compared to Belarus's 2.4. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Greece at 0.6 and Belarus at 1.7. Regarding organized crime, Greece generally has better scores than Belarus in various categories. For instance, Greece has a mafia group index of 3.0 compared to Belarus's 4.0, and while Greece scores higher in crime networks (6.5), it has a lower score for state crime (7.5) than Belarus (9.0). Overall, while no destination is without risk, Greece offers a relatively safe environment for tourists compared to Belarus.
