Specific Areas of Concern

Be aware of the risk of distraction theft, often using children and bogus policemen asking to see documents and money. Real plainclothes police officers might only ask to check personal documents, but never your credit cards or your cash.

The copying of credit or debit cards, when used for payment in some bars and restaurants, can be a problem.

Maritime Issues

The usual safety and security precautions should be taken to protect equipment and dinghies and prevent access to the boat when absent.

Black Sea Coast: (April 2022) There are confirmed reports of an undetermined number of drifting mines in the western Black Sea, at least four of which Turkish and Romanian authorities have intercepted. Drifting mines pose a hazard to commercial and passenger vessels.
