El Pireo obtiene 36 sobre 100 en delitos violentos — criminalidad por encima de la media, en una escala donde 50 es la media de Grecia. Allí viven unas 163.688 personas, 13.556 por km².
La puntuación es absoluta, no una clasificación: 50 es la tasa de delitos de Grecia en su conjunto, 100 el extremo más seguro de la escala y 0 el menos seguro, y cada vez que la tasa se duplica se pierden los mismos puntos en cualquier lugar. Las unidades regionales se puntúan a partir de las tasas de delitos registrados por la policía por cada 100.000 habitantes que publica Eurostat. Grecia no publica nada más detallado, así que los municipios y los barrios se reparten la tasa medida de su región según su grado de urbanización y la información local documentada: toma esos dos niveles como una estimación, no como un recuento de delitos registrados.

Bien de día, cuidado de noche
Normal de día y merece la visita. Lo que cambia de noche es concreto y evitable, no general.
- 38LevkaΛεύκα · criminalidad por encima de la mediaThe old industrial core, named for the poplars that grew here under King George I. It borders Kaminia to the east, Palaia Kokkinia to the north, Papastratos to the west along the OSE lines, and Gouva tou Vavoula and Paliatzidika to the south along the ISAP lines. This was the labour centre of Piraeus: the Retsina brothers' textile mill, the last of five, and the Kerani tobacco works, once Greece's third largest.
- 38Palaia KokkiniaΠαλαιά Κοκκινιά · criminalidad por encima de la mediaA refugee neighbourhood in the north of the municipality, bordered by Nikaia to the north, Lefka to the south, Agios Ioannis Rentis to the east and Agia Sofia to the west. Farmers settled it in the mid-19th century; Greek and Armenian refugees from Smyrna transformed it after 1922. Leoforos Thivon runs through it. Three squares organise it: Agios Sotiras, Neraida and the cemetery square.
- 38PapastratosΠαπαστράτος · criminalidad por encima de la mediaThe old industrial belt west of the centre, also called Agios Dionysios after its church, named for the Papastratos tobacco factory that opened on Mavromichali in 1931. It sits between Levka to the east and Kopi to the west. Long the most run-down quarter in the city, it is now the site of the largest regeneration in Piraeus: the factory is offices, with a hotel, museum and residences planned.
- 38TabouriaΤαμπούρια · criminalidad por encima de la mediaA big historic district straddling the Piraeus-Keratsini boundary, filling the north-west corner of the city, bordering Nikaia to the north, Kopi to the south and Agia Sofia to the east. The name comes from the earthwork redoubts Karaiskakis threw up here in 1827. The population is mixed: families from the Mani around Agios Dimitrios, descendants of Asia Minor refugees around Agios Panteleimon and the Ypapanti church, founded 1924.
- 38Neo FaliroΝέο Φάληρο · criminalidad por encima de la mediaThe eastern edge of Piraeus on Faliro bay, bounded by Thivon to the north and Dodekanisou toward Kaminia, cut off from the sea by the elevated Poseidonos avenue. A stadium district: Karaiskaki, home of Olympiacos, and the SEF arena, plus the ISAP station and the tram terminus. Most visitors come for a match, a concert or the tram.
- 38YdraiikaΥδραίικα · criminalidad por encima de la mediaThe historic heart of the modern city, between Akti Miaouli and Sachtouri, G. Theotoki and Thoukydidou, laid out on the Kleanthis and Schaubert grid for settlers from Hydra who arrived from 1838. Agios Nikolaos, the sailors' church, opened in 1844. It runs up to the port, so this is where ferry passengers actually walk, and where old Troumba stood around Filonos and Notara.
- 38Zea (Pasalimani)Ζέα (Πασαλιμάνι) · criminalidad por encima de la mediaThe yacht harbour and the busiest going-out quarter in Piraeus: all-day cafe-bars, restaurants and live bouzouki venues around Marina Zea and Akti Moutsopoulou, plus the Archaeological and Maritime museums. Prosperous, well-policed, full of locals rather than tourists, and walkable to Dimotiko Theatro metro.
- 26KaminiaΚαμίνια · criminalidad por encima de la mediaOld kiln country between Piraeus Street and Thivon, next to Neo Faliro and the electric railway, 2.5km from the centre. Streets are named after Aegean islands, after the island labourers who came for the ceramics works and stayed. Plateia Nikou Legaki is the meeting point, Agiou Eleftheriou the commercial axis. Professionals priced out of Neo Faliro have been moving in.

Ningún problema concreto más allá de los de cualquier centro urbano denso.
- 38Agia SofiaΑγία Σοφία · criminalidad por encima de la mediaKnown to everyone as Maniatika, after the families from the Mani who settled here from the 1880s to be near dock work. A steep working-class grid of low 1950s-70s houses above the port, with Palamidiou as the commercial spine and the 1898-1902 Agia Sofia church at its heart. It borders Tabouria to the west and Palaia Kokkinia to the east. Maniatika metro station opened on 10 October 2022, pulling the district closer to the city.
- 38KopiΚοπή · criminalidad por encima de la mediaA small district on the seam between the municipalities of Piraeus and Keratsini-Drapetsona, bounded by Kalokairinou, Anapafseos, Psaron and Anchialou, with Tabouria to the north, Drapetsona to the south, Papastratos to the east and Keratsini to the west. It is named after the army clothing factory that has occupied around 40 acres here since 1937, and was the site of a resistance battle to stop the Germans destroying it. Otherwise: small blocks, small squares, a school.
- 38EvangelistriaΕυαγγελίστρια · criminalidad por encima de la mediaA dense central district just above Pasalimani, named for its church, built with the neighbouring old people's home at the end of the 19th century. Its axes are Leoforos Grigoriou Lampraki and Tzavella, which climbs toward Kastella hill, meeting at the church. One of the most heavily populated parts of the city, with many students because the University of Piraeus sits alongside it at Karaoli & Dimitriou 80.
- 38KallipoliΚαλλίπολη · criminalidad por encima de la mediaThe dense middle of the peninsula, bounded by Sachtouri, G. Theotoki, Klisovis/Karpathou and St. Dragoumi, touching Chatzikyriakeio, Ydraiika, Peiraiki and Freattyda. Settled first by islanders from Hydra and the Dodecanese, then after 1922 by refugees from Gallipoli in Eastern Thrace, who gave it its name and built the Agia Paraskevi church. Three squares anchor it: Serfiotou, Pigada and the large, family-heavy Karpathou.
- 38PigadaΠηγάδα · criminalidad por encima de la mediaOne of the oldest neighbourhoods, on a low hill near the middle of the peninsula facing Kallipoli, named for a large well sunk when the first drinking-water cisterns were installed. It was grazing land with three mills before it was built up along Dexameni and Chatzikyriakou toward Agios Vasileios. The old reservoir ground is now a planted square. Its real function today is a junction linking Marina Zea, Chatzikyriakeio, central Piraeus and the harbour.
- 38TerpsitheaΤερψιθέα · criminalidad por encima de la mediaOne of the most central neighbourhoods, named for its square at the crossing of Iroon Polytechniou, which runs up to Chatzikyriakeio, and 2as Merarchias, which runs from the central port down to Zea. That makes it the hinge between the ferry terminals and the marina, with Gladstonos and Palaiologou as near-pedestrian side lanes. Ordinary Piraeus: apartment blocks, offices, bakeries. The municipality has commissioned a redesign of the square.
- 38VryoniΒρυώνη · criminalidad por encima de la mediaA small central district at the start of Iroon Polytechniou, wedged between Terpsithea and Ydraiika and running toward Freattyda, with Sachtouri as its boundary. It sits above Akti Miaouli by the port exhibition hall, minutes from the cruise and ferry frontage. The name comes from Ioannis Vryonis, a merchant who arrived from the Russian east in the late 19th century and built a landmark house with a gothic clock dome. Today it is purely residential with shops and offices.
- 38PeiraikiΠειραϊκή · criminalidad por encima de la mediaThe rocky south-west tip of the peninsula, under the ancient Long Walls. Barely built on until the 1960s, when families from Kallipoli, Chatzikyriakeio and Freattyda moved out onto the new seafront; it meets Kallipoli at Filikis Etaireias. Akti Themistokleous is the point: fish tavernas, kafeneia and small bars along the water. The official Athens guide sends visitors here for seafood, naming Margaro, Yperokeanio and Ta Vrachia tis Peiraikis.
Dónde alojarse mejor
Tranquilo y bien iluminado, el tipo de sitio que se recomienda a la mayoría de los visitantes.
- 38ChatzikyriakeioΧατζηκυριάκειο · criminalidad por encima de la mediaThe north-west shoulder of the peninsula, bounded by Thoukydidou to the east and G. Theotoki to the south. It is institutional as much as residential: the Naval Academy since 1885, the Chatzikyriakeio orphanage since 1889, the regional library, and the Zoodochos Pigi church built by refugees from Eastern Thrace who settled after 1924. Chatzikyriakou is the largest boulevard in Piraeus. Visitors come for the seafood tavernas along the shore.
- 38FreattydaΦρεαττύδα · criminalidad por encima de la mediaA seaward wedge on the south-east of the peninsula, bounded by Kantharou to the north and Sachtouri to west and south, with Terpsithea above and Zea harbour alongside. It holds Tzaneio, the city's main hospital, the Maritime Museum, the submarine Papanikolis and the town beach moved here in the early 1960s. The municipality upgraded that beach in 2026 and neighbouring Votsalakia in July 2025, adding LED lighting and 24-hour free pedestrian access.
- 38KastellaΚαστέλλα · criminalidad por encima de la mediaThe hill above Mikrolimano, and the prettiest thing in Piraeus: neoclassical houses, stepped lanes, Profitis Ilias church and the Veakeio at the top, cafes along Papanastasiou and around Idis. Mikrolimano below is a fishing cove turned restaurant row. Settled and middle-class; visitors come for the view and dinner.
