Neapoli scores 33 out of 100 for violent crime — above-average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 8,536 people at 6,745 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 Neapoli is actually like
A densely built neighbourhood running from Langada street up to the ring road, and the civic heart of the municipality. Its landmarks are ordinary and well used: the clock square, the Strempenioti sports complex, a modern municipal library on Amasias street. Crime here is local and acquisitive, with theft and fraud cases regularly solved by the local crime squad. One serious violent incident was recorded in September 2026, inside a home rather than on the street.
After dark
Sociable around the clock square and the sports complex, quiet elsewhere. In September 2026 a 49-year-old was arrested after seriously injuring a 43-year-old man with a sharp object at a residence in Neapoli at around 22:30 - a domestic-type incident, not street violence.
What to watch for
- Shop break-ins overnight
- Theft and fraud rings working the municipality
- Quiet residential streets away from the square
Staying here
Cheap and authentic, but residential and short on visitor infrastructure. Fine if you want local life over sights.
