Greece is an appealing destination for some Estonian travelers, thanks to its stunning islands, rich cultural heritage, and diverse landscapes. With around 600,000 Estonians traveling abroad annually, a portion of them may find Greece particularly attractive.
Greece is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Estonia, but there are some differences in safety rankings between the two countries. In terms of safety while walking alone at night, Greece ranks 32nd out of 40 countries, while Estonia ranks significantly higher at 4th. According to the Global Peace Index, Greece is ranked 40th out of 160 countries, which indicates a relatively safe environment, though Estonia is ranked higher at 24th. When looking at murder rates, Greece has a lower rate (0.9 per 100,000) compared to Estonia (2.0 per 100,000). Both countries have similar female murder rates (0.6 per 100,000). In terms of organized crime, both countries have a mafia index of 3.0, but Greece has higher scores in crime networks (6.5) and state crime (7.5) compared to Estonia's scores of 5.0 and 2.0, respectively. Overall, while Greece is relatively safe, tourists from Estonia may find it less secure than their home country, particularly when it comes to walking alone at night and certain organized crime metrics.
