Akteo 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 1,494 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 Akteo is actually like
A community of the Rio municipal unit on the northern coast, listed officially as Aktaio/Vernadaiika. It is a small shore settlement in the strip east of Rio, with beaches, summer houses and a handful of tavernas, used mainly by Patras residents. No visitor infrastructure beyond that and no incident reporting.
After dark
Quiet, with summer activity along the shore and near-silence out of season. No documented incidents or patrol priorities.
What to watch for
- Empty holiday houses out of season
- Unlit shore road
Staying here
Fine for a quiet summer seaside stay with a car. Far from the Italy ferry gates — not a base for an early sailing.
