Malta offers a compelling destination for Turkish travelers, thanks to its rich history, vibrant culture, and appealing Mediterranean location. With around one million international visitors annually, it could attract a portion of the 2.7 million Turks who travel abroad each year.
Malta is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Türkiye. It ranks 26th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, which is better than Türkiye's 31st position. The murder rate in Malta is significantly lower at 0.4 per 100,000 people compared to Türkiye's 2.5. While Türkiye has a higher Global Peace Index ranking (137th out of 160), Malta does not have available data for this index. In terms of organized crime, Malta scores better in several categories, such as mafia presence (1.5 for Malta vs. 8.0 for Türkiye) and arms trafficking (2.5 for Malta vs. 9.0 for Türkiye). Overall, tourists from Türkiye can feel relatively safe when visiting Malta, given the lower crime rates and better safety rankings.
