I don’t see what your hair and eye colour have to do with your safety! There are blonde blued eyed women in Greece you know! Whilst shopping just don’t forget to pay. You are no more at risk than any other woman in Athens, you need to keep your wits about you everywhere in the world, Athens is no exception.
What do you think? Answer below!

The thing to remember is that Greeks are Middle Easterners. They are in no way related to the Ancient Greeks. As a result they are very different culturally to us Europeans and you will always be in danger of sending wrong messages. Greece is NOT a safe country to travel alone for a European woman, they will see you as too desirable compared to their women who we would consider very supressed I think but i do not like to judge I am not racist.
If you will visit Balkans I suggest the more European countries of Balkans i.e. Macedonia or Bosnia or Croatia or maybe Slovenia.
You sound like a troll to me. Either that, or you’re totally stupid.
Οh ~ I am must leave Yahoo Answers right now!!
My mom is blonde with blue eyes and with pale skin (with freckles…) . I should tell her to migrate from Greece and go somewhere else!!!
Lmao girl , Lmao!!
This smells like troll to me.
You MAY get extra attention from Greek young men because your looks arent so common in Greece and Turkey.
Turkey very safe. Everywhere police and army.
Greece is not very safe for foreigners cause of riots, anarchists bombings especially towards western people.
Official US Embassy report :
The U.S. Government remains deeply concerned about the heightened threat of terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens and interests abroad. Like other countries that are members of the Schengen Agreement for free cross-border movement, Greece’s open borders with its European neighbors allow the possibility of terrorist groups entering/exiting the country with anonymity. As the first entry point into Schengen from points south and east, Greece’s long coastline and many islands also heighten the possibility that foreign-based terrorists might try to exploit Greece’s borders. Domestic terrorist organizations such as Revolutionary Struggle and “Sect of Revolutionaries” have become increasingly active against both domestic and foreign targets in Greece. Recent attacks and attempted attacks have included the use of Molotov cocktails (gasoline bombs), small arms and rifle fire, and improvised explosive devices, the largest being a 50-kilo car bomb which failed to detonate before the police arrived. The Greek police forces, other Greek governmental agencies, private American and Greek businesses, and the United States Embassy have been attacked in the last three years. Recent actions indicate that the perpetrators are indiscriminate. The risk of “being in the wrong place at the wrong time” in the event of a terrorist action is a concern for residents and visitors. U.S. tourists or residents in Greece should remain vigilant, exercise caution, and monitor local developments. Some current terrorist organizations are aligned with the ideology of the older Marxist terrorist group November 17 (N17) which targeted Greek businessmen and officials, as well as officials from NATO countries in Greece, from the mid-1970s until the early part of this decade. N17 terrorists murdered 23 people, including five U.S. Government employees. Strikes and demonstrations are a regular occurrence. Greece is a stable democracy and these activities for the most part are orderly and lawful. However, a wave of incidents started when a teenager was shot and killed in an encounter with the police in December 2008. Incidents occurred throughout Greece, but the primary sources of violence were in Athens and Thessaloniki, Protestors there engaged in violent confrontations with the police and carried out destructive vandalism and rioting in localized areas, some of which are areas frequented by tourists, injuring numerous police officers. Riot control procedures often include the use of tear gas. Visitors should keep abreast of news about demonstrations from local news sources and hotel security. When there are demonstrations, visitors should be aware of and avoid places where demonstrators frequently congregate, such as the Polytechnic University area, Exarchia, Omonia, and Syntagma Squares in Athens, and Aristotle Square in Thessaloniki. The Omonia and Exharchia areas of Athens are at particular risk for crime and politically-motivated violence; U.S. Embassy personnel and their families have been urged strongly to avoid these areas between 9 pm and dawn.
This is possibly one of the stupidest questions you could ask. Your physical features have nothing to do with your safety, as long as your white. As far as shopping goes, you will be taken as a fool and they will take a lot of your money unless you know how to haggle. So my reccomendation is to start getting useed to arguing with shop owners otherwise you will pay an arm an a leg for your souveniers.
