Kaminia scores 58 out of 100 for property crime — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 716 people at 618 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 Kaminia is actually like
A coastal suburb of Patras in its southern section, 14 km from the city centre and 3 km from Kato Achaia, with 716 inhabitants. Houses, beaches and a summer population. Like the other southern coastal villages, it was worked by a burglary ring targeting coastal homes between October 2025 and April 2026.
After dark
Quiet out of season and busier on the shore in summer. The documented risk is burglary of houses in the morning rather than anything after dark.
What to watch for
- Coastal homes — a ring hit Kaminia among other coastal settlements, mainly in morning hours
- Empty second homes out of season
- Unlit shore road
Staying here
Fine for a quiet seaside stay with a car. About 20-25 minutes from the South Port gates, so workable for an Italy sailing with time in hand.
