Of course it would be. I am a 22 year olf female and I went with another one of my friends of the same age. We went to Athens, Santorini, Paros and Veria and it is absolutely the most amazing trip we've ever been on. The people are so friendly and want to help you out any way they can. We went to the touristy areas and areas that were not very visited by tourists and were treated great everywhere. You have no need to worry. Tip: if going to Athens stay in the PLAKA area, or any other area other then OMONIA (big no on this area, it's dangerous).
Go to Greece, it's really worth seeing and completly safe!
Have fun!

Yes! They would be very safe. Greece is a popular tourist destination and I wouldn't think twice about not letting them go. I went there with my friend (both females) 15 years ago and had a great time. As always, they should use their common sense - but I'm sure it would be a wonderful vacation for them. You can always check out http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/tw/tw_1764.html for travel advisories. As you can see - Greece is not listed. I found the people to be very nice and gracious.

Of course!
Since your wife and son are safe at home could not be less in Greece!

Of course! Don't give it a second thought. Greece is a very safe country.

Greece is very safe, even downtown Athens. I'm in my 20s and female & lived there for 4 months. I often walked around by myself, even at night, and didn't feel threatened. They just need to take the same precautions you do in any city and they'll be fine.

It will be really safe in any Greek island,
it can be unsafe only in some restricted areas in the centre of Athens, like Omonia or Metaxourgio a bit . . .

Of course it is safe, but why should they go alone? You shouldn't miss the opportunity to see the cradle of civilization and bathe at the best beaches in the world...
