Without any second thought the answer is definitely yes! There is nothing to be afraid of. You can move everywhere without any danger especially in the Greek islands. If you have visited the islands with your sailing boat things would be even safer. All of my sailing friends are very happy with the matter of safety. They state that the only thing they had lost was their dinghy, but that was taken off the boat by the wind since they had not secure it properly. It looks weird to the people that live in the city centers but the locals in the Greek islands mainly even sleep with the doors of their homes open. The criminality in Greece, is quite low (if some, it is gathered in the city center in specific areas as in most European main cities) while in the islands we could argue is even less than low.

To my belief this assent of safety and zero criminality in the Greek islands has not been communicated so thoroughly by the media. Greece should be even higher in the hearts of the potential visitors. The reasons are simple, she is easy to approach as we discussed previously, she is part of the Eurozone which means stable currency. As in all countries of the Eurozone the currency is the Euro.

Not to mention that tourism has been the main product of Greece for many centuries. Greeks, who are mostly known for their hospitality will treat you as a friend, guide you when needed and surely will make you feel as a true guest. Everybody by today speaks English and you can easily be navigated everywhere without a problem. Between you and me, do not try to speak or learn the Greek language.. Altough the roots go back for many centuries and are common between many other foreign languages I would suggest you to stay tuned to the English communication.. Although Greek is a complicated language most Greeks speak English fluently and one way or the other you will be able to communicate easily.
