Heraklion is a super cute and safe place to be! Walked everywhere but there are also some free busses you can take to go around. Otherwise, public transport is very convenient and safe. Lots to see, extra nice restaurants and everyone is extremely friendly.

It's overall safe during the daylight but after 9pm I would advice to not wander alone and in darker spots in the city, definitely be aware of your surroundings because there's risk of bumping into drunken people or junkies but also very common is drivers being irresponsible.
Posted: April 14, 2025Heraklion is a safe place because people rarely hear of a tragedy here,even the locals(I am not originally from here) assure you that this is a safe place. Nevertheless you shouldn't let your guards down because you never know what might happen
