Violent crime in Aghios Vassilios
Δημοτική Κοινότητα Αγίου Βασιλείου · District
Modelled estimate — how it is madeAghios Vassilios scores 46 out of 100 for violent crime — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 2,662 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 Aghios Vassilios is actually like
A coastal community of the Rio municipal unit on the northern shore, a seaside resort and a place of holiday and permanent residence for many Patras families. It sits in the strip between Aktaio and Psathopyrgos. Beaches, tavernas and summer houses; busy in season, quiet otherwise.
After dark
Lively along the shore in summer, near-empty out of season, with unlit stretches between settlements. A July 2026 police operation in Achaia included Agios Vasileios among the locations checked.
What to watch for
- Empty holiday houses out of season
- Unlit shore road between settlements
Staying here
Good for a summer seaside stay with a car. A poor base for an early Italy ferry — you are well north of the city and a long transfer from the South Port.
