Votsi 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 8,088 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 Votsi is actually like
A small inland residential subdivision in the middle of Kalamaria, formally Synoikismos Navarchou Votsi and paired in municipal records with Agios Panteleimonas, the parish it sits in. It is one of the original 1920s refugee settlements, now filled in with ordinary apartment blocks. Coverage is thin: the municipality has published traffic-management changes for the Votsi area, but there is no crime reporting specific to it. Judge it by Kalamaria's baseline rather than looking for a local record that does not exist.
After dark
Quiet residential streets, no nightlife of its own, no documented night-time problem. Residents walk to the centre or the seafront for anything after dark.
What to watch for
- Nothing area-specific is documented
Staying here
Fine but unremarkable - a place to rent an apartment, not a base with character. The centre and seafront are a short walk.
