Greece stands out as an appealing destination for Indonesian travelers, thanks to its unique combination of ancient history, vibrant culture, and stunning natural landscapes. With around 500,000 Indonesians traveling abroad annually, a portion of these tourists may find Greece particularly enticing due to its sun-soaked islands and diverse attractions.
Greece is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Indonesia. According to the Global Peace Index, Greece ranks 40th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety compared to Indonesia, which ranks 47th. In terms of walking alone at night, Greece is ranked 32nd among 40 European countries, although specific data for Indonesia is not available. Regarding crime statistics, the murder rate in Greece is 0.9 per 100,000 people, slightly higher than Indonesia's rate of 0.6. However, Greece has lower indices for organized crime compared to Indonesia in several categories, such as mafia groups (Greece 3.0 vs. Indonesia 6.0) and flora crime (Greece 2.0 vs. Indonesia 7.5). Overall, while there are some crime concerns in both countries, Greece is generally safer for tourists than Indonesia.
