Located just opposite the Greek island of Lesvos, thus on the border of Europe, there is an illegal (and possible dangerous for witnesses) immigration activity at the outskirts of the village according to locals. Therefore don't stray or wild camp too far from the village, especially not on the coast ? the dirt road following the coast east to Assos is reported to be where this activity is concentrated most. However, visiting the village itself and the tarmac road leading to it is perfectly safe with not even the slightest concern.
If wild camping, wild boars in the area may pose a (minimal) danger. If awake and out of your tent, standing up on your feet seems to be enough to make them disperse and run away from you.
