Greece is a highly appealing destination for Maltese travelers, thanks to its stunning islands, rich cultural heritage, and diverse landscapes. With around 200,000 Maltese traveling abroad each year, a notable portion may find Greece particularly attractive for its blend of history and modern charm.
Greece is generally safe for tourists, but it has some differences in safety compared to Malta. According to a safety ranking, Greece is 32nd out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, while Malta ranks higher at 26th. The Global Peace Index ranks Greece 40th among 160 countries, but there is no available data for Malta. In terms of crime statistics, Malta has a lower murder rate (0.4 per 100,000 people) compared to Greece (0.9). Additionally, Malta reports no female murders, while Greece has a rate of 0.6. When looking at organized crime, Malta generally scores better than Greece in various categories, such as mafia presence and crime networks. However, both countries face challenges related to organized crime, with Greece having higher scores in some areas like human smuggling and the heroin trade. Overall, while Greece is relatively safe for tourists, visitors should remain aware of their surroundings and take standard precautions, as they would in any travel destination.
