Meteora scores 48 out of 100 for overall safety — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 3,501 people at 4,111 people per km².
The score is absolute, not a ranking: 50 is the offence rate for Greece as a whole, 100 the safest end of the scale and 0 the least safe, and every doubling of the rate costs the same number of points wherever you are. Regional units are scored from Eurostat's police-recorded offence rates per 100,000 inhabitants. Greece publishes nothing finer, so municipalities and districts share out their region's measured rate by how built-up they are and by documented local reporting — treat those two levels as an estimate, not a count of reported crime.
What Meteora is actually like
A named neighbourhood of the Polichni unit, on the boundary between Polichni and its neighbours - Polichni is explicitly described as bordering Meteora. It is ordinary dense residential housing with local shops. There is no crime reporting, municipal safety material or travel coverage specific to Meteora, and searches are entirely dominated by the monasteries of Meteora in Thessaly, which makes it one of the harder names in this municipality to research honestly. Nothing here justifies either a warning or a recommendation.
After dark
Residential and quiet. No documented night-time incidents specific to the area.
What to watch for
- Nothing area-specific is documented
Staying here
No. Residential, unremarkable and far from anything a visitor wants.
