Skyros is generally considered very safe for solo female travelers. Like most places in Greece, the locals are friendly and welcoming. However, as with any travel, it's always important to take safety measures such as avoiding deserted areas late at night and always making sure someone knows your whereabouts. Taking a local phrasebook or learning a few key phrases could also enhance your experience. Always keep your personal belongings secure and close to you. Crime rates are fairly low but pickpocketing can still occur, particularly in crowded places.
