Kallithea 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 837 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 Kallithea is actually like
A community of the Messatida municipal unit on the rising ground south-east of Patras, among Ovrya, Thea and Krini. A small commuter settlement of detached houses with views toward the gulf, largely built out in recent decades. No visitor draw and no incident reporting in the 2024-2026 record.
After dark
Quiet and dark on the lanes, with little late movement. Nothing documented.
What to watch for
- Unlit connecting lanes
- Standard home security for detached houses
Staying here
Only as a quiet longer stay with a car. A taxi run to the South Port for an Italy ferry.
