Is Arona safe for women?

Kyra

It’s usually quite safe besides some male harassment like cat calling here and there Most of the town is very known to its locals and I would say probably the most dangerous area would be the nightclub area after night or train stations which is a pity because taxis aren’t to be too trusted here either
