Corfu has one of the lowest criminality rates in Greece and probably in Europe. Your personal safety is guaranteed in Corfu, mainly because of the local culture and the strong presence of police. However, during the summer peak months, when the population of Corfu almost doubles, there is an increase in small thefts. We highly recommend that you keep your personal belongings safe at all times (passport, money, documents, jewelry, gadgets).
Any incident should be reported to the police within 24 hours and an application form should be completed. You will need this application form for insurance claims or for a temporary passport.
In the unfortunate event that you need to contact the police, their location and phone numbers are listed below.
