Souliou scores 57 out of 100 for property crime — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 847 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 Souliou is actually like
An inland community of the Patras municipal unit in the hills east of the city, alongside Elikistra and Moira. Neo Souli is listed among the settlements bordering the Riganokampos ground. A small upland village of houses and olive terraces with an older resident population and weekenders. No incident reporting at all.
After dark
Silent and dark, with no street lighting away from the core and no through traffic. Nothing documented.
What to watch for
- Unlit mountain roads at night

Only as a rural retreat with a car. No use for an early Italy ferry; allow 30-40 minutes to the South Port.
