Property crime in Tsoukaleika
Δημοτική Κοινότητα Τσουκαλαιίκων · District
Modelled estimate — how it is madeTsoukaleika 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 393 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 Tsoukaleika is actually like
A coastal suburb of Patras in its southern section, 13 km from the centre and 3 km from Kato Achaia, bordering Vrachneika, Kaminia and the neighbouring village of Alissos. Houses, a beach and a summer population, with its own seasonal bus route from the city. The municipality renamed several streets here in 2026. No incident reporting names Tsoukaleika.
After dark
Quiet out of season, busier on the shore in summer, with unlit stretches along the coast road. Nothing documented.
What to watch for
- Empty holiday houses out of season
- Unlit shore road at night
Staying here
Fine for a quiet seaside stay with a car, and reachable by the seasonal 501 bus. Around 20-25 minutes from the South Port gates, so workable for an Italy sailing.
