Don't believe everything you hear.Any country can be unsafe if you go to the wrong place at the wrong time.I can't speak for Zagreb but i went through Hungary,Romania,Bulgaria a couple of years ago on route to Turkey.Came back on Cesme to Chios(near Lesbos) ferry then Fast Ferry to Athens.Rode around Greece for a while then Ferry from Patras to Ancona.Como on the Swiss border is about 500km from Ancona.
There are many options of crossings to Italy from Greece but Turkey there seems to be only a few.
Have a great trip whatever way you go !
