Is Thessaloniki Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki is the second biggest city in Greece. It has a lot of students, and people from different backgrounds. Criminally rates are low, but we always have to be aware. I am always worried about sexual harassment, although it is not common in my city. Public transport is cool and it’s a vivid city. You are going to meet people at the street every day and night. Due to its extreme nightlife there is always something around u can call for support. Also Greeks are very helpful.

I live in a safe neighborhood with a lot of stores and open cafes till night. I feel safe and I am always alerted and careful but nothing ever happened. There is a night bus which works all night and with which we can return home safe.

I feel very safe in Thessaloniki. It's the perfect city to go out and have fun, go for drinks, food, etc. as well as going for a walk alone, spending time with yourself, etc. as well as doing new activities with friends or alone

I do have my keys in my hands when I walk alone late at night. I do check behind my back. They followed me two different times when I was returning home and it was scary. We lock two times in the night. There are certain areas "forbidden" for women, especially in the night.

I would say that is pretty safe, if you are staying in the Center there’s a lot of people around all day and is pretty lit at night. As a local I had no problem walking even after midnight but I’m walking in the main roads. I would say that is better to avoid the area around to the train station.

Thessaloniki is overall a safe city for everyone but there are areas that you should be more careful (especially the west side of the city) i leave here almost two years i never experienced something bad outside of catcalling and a small robbery at a club !!!! As women we should always have eyes open but i never felt danger in this city

There is a little bit the feeling of unsafe but if you take care is ok. Basically when there is dark and you’re in a place where is not so crowded you can feel that. But always depend on the neighbourhood

I use the public transport and I feel very safe. I can walk with my friends at night without worrying. I have never been robbed in public or mugged. I feel very safe in public as if I were at my home.

Thessaloniki, although the 2nd largest city of Greece, is a quite safe place. There are certain areas such as the area around the train and the bus station that are a bit dangerous. Other than that, the crime rate is very low. You should be more careful at night, though. When in busses try to be cautious to not get your phone stolen.

It’s my home town and I feel very safe. Nothing happened before neither to me or my friends. Overall Greece its a safe place for a solo traveler. I hope this helps because it’s very important all of us to feel safe .

Group travel

My friend and I stayed for two days in Thessaloniki. The food was quite tasty and affordable. People were not rude and it was a city where we felt safe. We visited the historical buildings and the castle of the city with our friends who guided and hosted us. We watched the city from the top and I recommend that you definitely watch the sunset here. ☀️☀️

Solo travel
