Lithuania presents an appealing option for some Greek travelers, given its unique attractions within the Baltic region. While it doesn't match the visitor numbers of larger European destinations, it still offers a variety of experiences that could attract a portion of the 2 million Greeks who travel abroad annually.
Lithuania is generally considered safe for tourists, including those coming from Greece. It ranks 24th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is better than Greece's ranking of 32nd. According to the Global Peace Index, Lithuania is ranked 31st out of 160 countries, again safer than Greece, which ranks 40th. In terms of crime rates, Lithuania has a higher murder rate (2.6 per 100,000 people) compared to Greece (0.9), but it has lower rates of organized crime and human trafficking. For instance, Lithuania scores better in areas like foreign crime (3.0 vs. Greece's 6.0) and human smuggling (2.5 vs. Greece's 7.5). Overall, while there are some concerns, Lithuania is considered a relatively safe destination for Greek tourists.
