Katirli scores 38 out of 100 for property crime — above-average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 1,779 people at 12,861 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 Katirli is actually like
One of the smallest of Kalamaria's refugee subdivisions, named after Katirli on the Sea of Marmara and usually paired in municipal records with neighbouring Kouri as Kouri-Katirli. The church of Agios Ioannis Prodromos sits in this settlement. It is a handful of residential blocks rather than a neighbourhood with a centre, and it has no coverage of its own in police releases, press or travel writing. Anything said about its safety is really being said about Kalamaria.
After dark
Quiet residential streets with no nightlife and no documented incidents.
What to watch for
- Nothing area-specific is documented
Staying here
Fine but effectively indistinguishable from the rest of inland Kalamaria.
