7Athens, Greece
Athens dazzles with the Acropolis and lively Plaka, but tourists often face challenges with petty crime. Pickpocketing is frequent on the metro, especially on the airport line, and in crowded squares.
Omonia and Exarchia districts can feel unsafe at night. Tourists should keep valuables close and avoid poorly lit areas after dark. Despite this, Athens remains a rewarding destination when navigated with care.
