Türkiye offers a rich blend of culture and history, making it an appealing destination for Maltese travelers. With around 200,000 Maltese traveling abroad each year, a portion of this group may find Türkiye's diverse landscapes and cultural heritage particularly attractive.
Türkiye has a safety ranking of 31st out of 40 European countries for walking alone at night, which is lower than Malta's ranking of 26th. According to the Global Peace Index, Türkiye is ranked 137th out of 160 countries, while there is no available data for Malta. In terms of crime statistics, Malta has a murder rate of 0.4 per 100,000 people, compared to Türkiye's rate of 2.5. Additionally, Malta reports no female murders, while Türkiye has a rate of 1.0. The Global Organized Crime Index shows that Türkiye faces significant challenges, with higher indices in various crime categories compared to Malta. For example, Türkiye scores 8.0 for mafia groups and 9.0 for state crime, while Malta scores 1.5 and 7.5, respectively. Overall, while Türkiye has beautiful attractions for tourists, it is important for visitors from Malta to remain aware of their surroundings and take necessary precautions.
