Is there a lot of crime in Corfu?

We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...

"Corfu, generally has a low crime rate, especially when compared to larger cities or more populous regions. The island is known for its peaceful atmosphere and friendly locals, making it a popular destination for tourists. However, like any place, it is not entirely free of crime. Petty crimes such as pickpocketing or bag snatching can occur, particularly in crowded tourist areas or on public transportation. There have also been occasional reports of burglaries in holiday villines or unoccupied homes. Violent crime is relatively rare, but it can happen, usually involving disputes between locals rather than targeting tourists. Despite these issues, the vast majority of visits to Corfu are trouble-free. Authorities are generally responsive and efficient in dealing with reported crimes. Visitors are advised to take standard precautions such as not leaving belongings unattended, being aware of their surroundings, and securing accommodations. In terms of organized crime, Corfu does not have a significant problem. The island's small size and close-knit community make it a difficult environment for organized crime to thrive. Overall, while crime does exist in Corfu, it is not a major concern for most residents and visitors. The island remains a safe and welcoming place for tourists from around the world," said a member in Corfu, Greece.
