Mikra 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 8,251 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 Mikra is actually like
Kalamaria's southeastern edge, towards the old Mikra airfield land, and now the terminus of the metro extension - the Mikra station opened with the 2025 Kalamaria line and is the interchange point for the park-and-ride traffic coming in from the southeast. The area is a mix of newer residential blocks, sports and institutional land rather than a traditional refugee quarter core, though Mikra is listed among Kalamaria's historic settlement names. No crime reporting specific to Mikra was found for 2024-2026.
After dark
Thin on street life after dark - wide roads, car-oriented, few pedestrians. That makes it feel deserted rather than dangerous. No documented night-time incidents.
What to watch for
- Car-dominated layout with long stretches of little foot traffic
Staying here
Only if the metro terminus and easy parking matter more to you than atmosphere. The centre and seafront are better bases.
