Greece is considered a safe country for tourists; however, there are a few Athens travel tips to bear in mind. Like most of Europe, Greece is alert to terrorist threat and visitors should be aware of their surrounds and any suspicious activity.
Petty theft, like bag snatching and pickpocketing, can also be an issue while sightseeing or travelling on public transport, so ensure you safely secure your valuables either in your hotel or discreetly on your person.
To cover yourself for loss, injury or accident, it’s worth taking out comprehensive travel insurance prior to departure, and ensure any required vaccinations are up to date.
