The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is one of the safest countries in the world. Statistics place the country on the 32nd line of the safety rating with an 8.88 coefficient. The indicator is calculated based on three criteria: natural incidents, military coups, personal safety.
Natural disasters are rare, except that in winter there can be showers and weak earthquakes. There are no military conflicts on the island, the division of the island into two countries does not set the population against each other. Many people think that the neighbourhood with Syria is dangerous, but the countries are separated by many kilometres by sea and the country has no political relation to the situation in the Middle East.
Investors may be confused by the British military bases, which are safe and occupy 3% of the island’s territory.
The civil security of the population is at a high level, which makes Northern Cyprus one of the safest countries in Europe. Crime reports are limited to mentioning petty fraud and fights. There are no terrorist attacks on the island. Home break-in and large-scale robberies are almost never encountered.
The only problem is the refugees from Syria and Lebanon. They live on the streets, hooligans and engage in petty theft. Also, some tourists behave inappropriately.
Most cities and resorts are completely safe, quiet and peaceful.
