Thanks in advance and apologies if these questions have been asked before. I did try looking.
As a fellow Brit, I'd say you will be perfectly safe provided you don't do anything you wouldn't do in London. Don't walk down dark alleys after flashing your cash in a bar, stuff like that. I holidayed there for many years then lived and worked there for two years. Never felt unsafe once. Stay in a rented villa or apartment, keep away from the anonymous upmarket places and you'll have a great time. I'm your sort of age.
