Lanzarote felt safe as a whole and seems like a place that is still keen on tourists. People are friendly, but not intrusive. I got to do some hiking, a lot of sunbathing and some swimming. And a lot of sightseeing. Everything is very close to everything else, since it's a pretty small island. Some of the highlights were the Montañas del Fuego and the hike to Caldera Blanca, the Mirador del Charco Verde, la playa de Papagayo (a natural reserve and you have to pay a small fee to get in), Jameos del Aqua, Mirador del Rio and the brilliant beach at the end of Camino de Los Graciosos. My advice is to rent a car, I felt like it was the best decision I could make both for feeling safer and for getting around real easily. It's not too expensive and I actually got an electric car and found places to charge it. (but it's best to be able to charge it overnight at your acommodation - that way you'll really have no worries regardless of how much you want to travel). The busses I needed to get to and from the airport weren't too reliable (one of them had a half an hour delay and there was one traveling each hour), so I might have been unlucky but wouldn't really recommend it. There are a lot of options for tours that also include getting you around the island if you'd rather do that. Many options for snorkeling, diving, surfing. I spent the day of arrival and before departure in playa Honda, which was very close to the airport - great for an overnight stay and watching the airplanes landing so close to the beach, but the noise might become too much if you spend more days here. For the rest of the trip I found a spot in Montana Blanca, which is approximately the center of the island. OH and if you want to do a deep dive into the history/culture of Timanfaya and its area there are free guided walking tours happening every week you can find the details on the site of the Parque Nacional Timanfaya - the spots are limited so book yours way in advance (I tried to one week before my trip and there were no spots available). The food is pretty good but the only one that stood out was El Boqueron De Plata Arte Y Pasion. Really didn't seem inviting just looking at it, but the Google reviews are right: they serve really good food.
