Greece stands out as an appealing destination for Moldovan travelers, thanks to its rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and beautiful islands. With around 200,000 Moldovans traveling abroad each year, a portion of them is likely to be drawn to Greece's unique blend of ancient history and modern attractions.
Greece is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Moldova. According to safety rankings, Greece is positioned 32nd out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is similar to Moldova's ranking of 33rd. However, the Global Peace Index rates Greece more favorably, placing it 40th out of 160 countries, compared to Moldova's 61st position. In terms of crime statistics, Greece has a lower murder rate of 0.9 per 100,000 people, compared to Moldova's 2.3. Additionally, Greece's rates of female murders are also lower (0.6 in Greece vs. 1.2 in Moldova). Regarding organized crime, Greece has a slightly higher index score in some areas, such as crime networks and state crime, but it ranks better in terms of mafia groups and arms trafficking. Overall, while both countries have their challenges, Greece is statistically safer than Moldova in several key areas, making it a relatively safe choice for Moldovan tourists.
