Chargement de la carte de sécurité de la Grèce…
51/100
Patras obtient 51 sur 100 pour la sécurité globale — criminalité dans la moyenne, sur une échelle où 50 est la moyenne de la Grèce. Environ 213 984 personnes y vivent, soit 618 habitants au km².
Le score est absolu, ce n'est pas un classement : 50 est le taux d'infractions de la Grèce dans son ensemble, 100 l'extrémité la plus sûre de l'échelle et 0 la moins sûre, et chaque doublement du taux coûte le même nombre de points partout. Les unités régionales sont notées d'après les taux d'infractions enregistrées par la police pour 100 000 habitants publiés par Eurostat. La Grèce ne publie rien de plus fin : les municipalités et les quartiers se partagent donc le taux mesuré de leur région selon leur degré d'urbanisation et les informations locales documentées — considérez ces deux niveaux comme une estimation, pas comme un décompte des délits enregistrés.
Patras : les quartiers à éviter et où loger
Chaque quartier, ce qui change la nuit, et ce que la police et la presse grecque rapportent vraiment. Des notes écrites, pas seulement des chiffres.
Les notes sont rédigées en anglais.
Bien de jour, prudence la nuit
Normal en journée et mérite la visite. Ce qui change la nuit est précis et évitable plutôt que général.
- 54EglykadaΕγλυκάδα · criminalité dans la moyenneA large south-eastern district of about 5,000 residents, containing the sub-neighbourhoods Tzoleika, Politeika and Peukiotisa and two squares, Al. Dimopoulou and Agios Andreas. It mixes rapid residential development, detached houses on quiet lanes and a working industrial fringe of factories and workshops, and it is where the Riganokampos settlement sits on the city's eastern edge — Riganokampos is not a district in its own right in our data, and of the names on this list Eglykada is the one that contains and abuts it, with Perivola on its other side. Against Koukouli and Perivola it is bigger, more industrial and much more often named by police.
Attention : Residential burglary — Eglykada is named as a high-risk zone in two separate 2026 burglary reports
- 52GouvaΓούβα · criminalité dans la moyenneA small inner district whose name simply means the hollow, describing the dip it occupies within the older city fabric. It is a tight, low-rise, working-class pocket of narrow streets and small houses with a long-settled population and very little commerce — the sort of place that is a neighbourhood rather than a destination. It sits within easy walking distance of the centre. Against the larger southern districts it is much smaller and more enclosed, which is why press reporting on police priorities refers to the neighbourhood centre specifically rather than to streets: the whole place is not much bigger than a few blocks.
Attention : The immediate neighbourhood centre, named in police-priority reporting
- 52TabahanaΤαμπάχανα · criminalité dans la moyenneAn old working quarter on the transition between the upper and lower city, its name from the Turkish tabakhane, the tanneries that once worked here. It borders Panagia Alexiotissa and runs into Sinora, Marouda, Glaraki, Pagona, Drosia and Aroi, and today is ordinary low-rise Patras: small apartment blocks, workshops, kafeneia and long-settled families, with cheap rents drawing students and newcomers. Visitors have no particular reason to come except to walk between Ano Poli and the centre. Against the polished squares below it is scruffier and more lived-in; against Prosfygika or Zarouchleika it carries none of the same documented policing attention.
Attention : Narrow, poorly lit connecting lanes on the climb toward the upper town
- 52Agia SofiaΑγία Σοφία · criminalité dans la moyenneA large residential district in the eastern half of the city, named for its parish church, with a big square in front of it and a mixture of 1970s apartment blocks, newer building and older houses. It is convenient for the university road and student guides list it among the practical areas for anyone commuting to Rio, so it has a steady student population alongside families. There is no visitor draw. Compared with Anthoupoli and Ampelokipoi on the same eastern side, it is busier and more mixed; unlike them it carries a specific, well-documented local problem centred on one foreclosed building rather than the neighbourhood at large.
Attention : The Kourtesi junction (diastavrosi Kourtesi) — the foreclosed block residents name
- 52Ano PoliΆνω Πόλη · criminalité dans la moyenneThe historic upper town, spread over the slopes below the Byzantine castle and the Roman Odeon, reached from the lower city by the famous flights of steps. It is the one genuinely atmospheric quarter of Patras: low stone houses, small squares, tavernas and a handful of boutique guesthouses, mixed with an elderly resident population and a steady trickle of students and short-let visitors. Travel guides routinely call it the best base in the city, and it is the only part of Patras people visit for its own sake rather than to catch a boat. Compared with the flat commercial grid below, it is quieter, greener and better looking, but also patchier: restored terraces sit next to derelict plots and empty buildings.
Attention : Unlit side lanes and stepped alleys once you leave the taverna streets
- 52VlateroΒλατερό · criminalité dans la moyenneOne of the oldest quarters of Patras, on the threshold between the upper and lower city, its name from the Latin blattea, the purple dye used for precious fabrics — Byzantine workshops connected with the celebrated Danielis worked here. Today it is a small, steep, densely built residential pocket of old houses and modest blocks on the slope, with long-settled families and very little commerce, and it is one of the routes walkers take between the centre and Ano Poli. Against Tabahana, its counterpart on the same threshold, it is older and steeper; against the squares below it is markedly quieter and less maintained.
Attention : Steep stepped lanes with thin lighting on the climb between the lower and upper city
- 52Ypsila AloniaΥψηλά Αλώνια · criminalité dans la moyenneThe great belvedere square on the shelf between the upper and lower city, formerly Plateia Benizelou Roufou, ringed by neoclassical facades and palm trees and long used as a postcard image of Patras. It is a residential and cafe quarter rather than a nightlife one, with an older resident population, a few hotels and the Skagiopouleio children's home on Benizelou Roufou street just below. People come for the view over the gulf, the church of Agios Andreas Palaios nearby and the walk down to the centre. Against neighbouring Ano Poli it is flatter, easier to walk and better connected, but its centrepiece square has been visibly let go and is currently the shabbiest of the city's big public spaces.
Attention : The square's own dark corners and dead fountain area late at night
- 52PlataniΠλατανίου · criminalité dans la moyenneA community of the Rio municipal unit on the ground inland of the coast road. It is the one outlying settlement in this group that appears repeatedly in current police reporting: named among the consistently high-risk zones for residential burglaries, and among the locations checked in a July 2026 Achaia police operation. Otherwise an ordinary small settlement of houses and holdings.
Attention : Residential burglary — Platani is on the police high-risk list
- 47AroiΑρόη · criminalité dans la moyenneAn inner-eastern district on the rising ground behind the centre, named for the ancient settlement that preceded Patras. It is a dense residential quarter of apartment blocks and older houses with schools, a church and local shops, popular with families and students because it is cheap and within walking distance of the centre. No visitor comes here deliberately. Against Psarofai and Zarouchleika further south it is closer in, better served and more mixed; against the quieter eastern suburbs it is busier. It appears in police reporting in a specific way — as a burglary target rather than a source — which is worth separating out.
Attention : Night-time residential burglary via balconies reached from drainpipes, air-conditioning units and awnings
- 47AgyiaΑγυιά · criminalité dans la moyenneOne of the largest neighbourhoods in the city, in the north, divided into Mesi Agyia and Exo Agyia, with a small harbour and promontory on the gulf and a 30-hectare wetland north of the centre. It is partly densely built and partly green, served by bus lines 6 and 9 and the Patras suburban railway, and student guides list it as a convenient base for the university at Rio. A new urban park with lawns, LED lighting, a playground and accessible ramps is being laid out at Exo Agyia. Against Anthoupoli it is bigger, older and more varied; unlike Anthoupoli, it appears in the police patrol priority list.
Attention : The wetland, shoreline and open ground after dark — unlit and unfrequented
- 35ProsfigikaΠροσφυγικά · criminalité supérieure à la moyenneThe first refugee settlement in Patras, built from 1926-28 for families from Asia Minor, and still recognisable as a planned estate of low terraces on a grid of narrow streets in the south-west of the city. It is a poor, densely built quarter with a long-settled population, some of the cheapest housing in Patras, and a municipal renovation programme part-completed. Outsiders go for the architecture — it is genuinely photogenic and often paired with Agia Aikaterini in local features on Patras's picturesque old quarters. It is also the most consistently named district in Hellenic Police reporting on the city, which is the single biggest difference between it and every other inner neighbourhood on this list.
Attention : Ionias, Pontou, Damonos and Efesou streets — the blocks residents name for poor lighting
- 35PsarofaiΨαροφάι · criminalité supérieure à la moyenneA neighbourhood about 3.5 km south-south-east of the centre, on the slope behind the southern districts. It is a modest residential area of older houses and low apartment blocks with a settled local population and few services beyond a couple of shops and a church; there is nothing here to bring a visitor. It sits in the same southern belt as Zarouchleika and Aroi, and shares their profile: ordinary streets, cheap housing, and repeated appearances in Hellenic Police reporting on the city. Against Terpsithea or Agia Varvara a little further in, it is further from the centre, less well served and more often named by police.
Attention : Night-time residential burglary — a ring specifically worked Psarofai after dark
- 35Agia TriadaΑγία Τριάδα · criminalité supérieure à la moyenneA central-southern neighbourhood named for its church, lying between the lower city and Prosfygika. It is a plain, dense residential district of apartment blocks and older terraces with local shops, schools and a settled population, plus cheap lets that attract students and newcomers. Nobody visits it. Its position is what defines it: it sits directly on the edge of the district that dominates Hellenic Police reporting on Patras, and press coverage of police priorities has described the strip between Prosfygika and Plateia Voud. Against Agia Varvara on its other flank it is busier and more mixed, and it carries a flag that Agia Varvara does not.
Attention : The strip between Prosfygika and Plateia Voud, named in police-priority reporting
- 35ZarouchleikaΖαρουχλέικα · criminalité supérieure à la moyenneOne of the largest neighbourhoods in Patras, in the southern municipal sector, first settled after 1850 by farming families from Zaroukhla in the Kalavryta highlands and an independent community from 1912 until the city absorbed it. Today it is a big, mixed, mostly working-class district of post-war apartment blocks and older houses, with a workers' housing estate on Evias street at its core, local shops and schools. Nobody visits; people live here because it is cheap and close to the southern approaches. Against neighbouring Taraboura and Begoulaki it is much bigger and more built up, and against them it carries specific documented policing attention that they do not.
Attention : The workers' housing estate on Evias street (odos Evias) — decay, rubbish and weak lighting reported
Quartiers urbains ordinaires
Aucun problème particulier au-delà de ce que connaît tout centre-ville dense.
- 58RioΡίο · criminalité dans la moyenneThe northern suburb and municipal unit at the narrows of the gulf, dominated by three things: the Rio-Antirrio bridge, the University of Patras campus with its halls of residence, and the university hospital. That makes it the busiest part of greater Patras outside the centre — thousands of students, a full hospital catchment, a ferry crossing, a Venetian castle, and a coastal strip of cafes, beach bars and clubs that is where Patras goes out in summer. It is about 7-8 km from the centre. Against Kastelokampos next door it is livelier and far more transient; against the inner city it is younger, more spread out and much greener.
Attention : Thefts and attacks reported around the university campus and halls of residence, including a student robbed of her wallet at a bus stop
- 54KastelocamposΚαστελόκαμπος · criminalité dans la moyenneA northern suburb about 8 km from the centre by road, bordering Rio, Proastio and Dafnes and the University of Patras campus. This is the heart of the university and hospital belt: campus buildings and student housing on one side, the coast road and a strip of detached houses, apartments and seafront tavernas on the other, with a resident mix of academics, staff, students and commuting families. People come for the campus, the beach and the tavernas. Against Rio next door it is quieter and more residential; against Proastio it is more institutional. Its documented problem is burglary of houses.
Attention : Residential burglary — Kastelokampos is on the police high-risk list
- 54ProastioΠροάστιο · criminalité dans la moyenneThe district at the northern entrance to Patras, about 7 km from the centre, known until 1928 as Bozaitika and settled by Kalavryta families. It divides into Ano Proastio, Kato Proastio and Paralia Proastiou, and takes in the Dafnes shore, a popular summer beach for city residents. It is a spread-out suburban area of detached houses, gardens and newer blocks, with people living here for space and the sea rather than for anything to visit. Against Kastelokampos further north it is similar in feel; against the inner city it is far quieter. Its one documented issue is property crime, not street crime.
Attention : Residential burglary — Proastio is on the police high-risk list
- 52BegoulakiΜπεγουλάκι · criminalité dans la moyenneA southern district that began as a separate settlement and was absorbed as Patras expanded, its name taken from a Turkish landowner of the Ottoman period. It lies near the Glafkos crossing, with Taraboura between it and Zarouchleika. It is plain residential Patras — post-war blocks, older houses, workshops and neighbourhood shops — with a settled local population and no visitor draw at all. Against Zarouchleika, the big district on its other side, it is smaller and carries none of the documented policing attention; against Metamorfosi Sotiros across the river it is older and closer in. An unremarkable, quiet corner of the southern city.
Attention : The Glafkos river corridor and industrial edges after dark
- 52KoukouliΚουκούλι · criminalité dans la moyenneA district on the south-eastern side of Patras, bordering Agios Georgios Langoura to the north, Eglykada to the north-east and Perivola to the south-east. It is defined by its institutions: the Pan-Peloponnesian National Sports Centre (PEAK Patras) and the former TEI of Western Greece sit here, which gives it a student and sporting population on top of its residents. Housing is a mix of post-war blocks and newer building on the slope. Against Eglykada next door it has no burglary-hotspot listing, and against Perivola it is closer in and busier. Visitors come for a match or an event, not to stay.
Attention : Crowd and traffic pressure around PEAK on event nights
- 52PagonaΠαγώνα · criminalité dans la moyenneAn inner neighbourhood on the eastern slope above the centre, lying north of Sinora and Kantrianika and running into Tabahana and Drosia. It is close-grained residential Patras: a mix of interwar houses and post-war blocks on steep streets, long-settled families, a parish church and neighbourhood shops, with the General Hospital and the Girokomeio green belt not far above. People come through it rather than to it. Against Drosia and Terpsithea on the same slope it is older and denser; against the districts named in police patrol lists it has no documented crime profile at all, and reads as an ordinary quiet residential quarter.
Attention : Steep, narrow and poorly lit residential streets at night
- 52PerivolaΠεριβόλα · criminalité dans la moyenneA suburb in the south-eastern part of Patras, about 6 km from the centre, home to facilities of the Hellenic Open University and the closed Apollon gymnasium with a capacity of 3,500. It is a spread-out residential area of detached houses, newer blocks and open ground on the lower slopes, with a mix of families, staff and students, and the Patras ring road not far off. It borders Riganokampos on the city's eastern edge — Riganokampos is not a separate district in our data, and it sits between here and Eglykada. Against Eglykada it is quieter, less industrial and, importantly, absent from the burglary-hotspot lists.
Attention : Unlit open ground and the approaches toward the eastern edge after dark
- 52Profitis IliasΠροφήτης Ηλίας · criminalité dans la moyenneA hillside neighbourhood named, as such places usually are in Greece, for the chapel of the Prophet Elias on the high point above it. It is a residential district on the eastern slope of the city with a mix of older houses and newer blocks, good views over the gulf from the upper streets, and a settled local population. People walk up for the view and the chapel. Against Girokomeio further along the slope it is more built up and less wooded; against the dense inner quarters below it is quieter and greener. It appears in none of the 2024-2026 police or press crime reporting for Patras.
Attention : The unlit ground and paths around the chapel after dark
- 52PsathopyrgosΨαθοπύργου · criminalité dans la moyenneA coastal village of the Rio municipal unit about 18 km north-east of Patras at 5 m elevation, the northernmost settlement of the Peloponnese, where the mountain comes down to the sea. Tavernas, beaches and a large summer-house stock. It is one of the few outlying settlements with a documented burglary problem, aimed at unoccupied holiday homes.
Attention : Summer homes that are not permanently occupied — named as the primary burglary target here
- 52SaravalioΣαραβαλίου · criminalité dans la moyenneA settlement of the Messatida municipal unit south-south-east of Patras, about 8 km from the centre by road. It is a spread-out commuter village of detached houses, small holdings and newer building, with a local population and no tourism. Nothing in the 2024-2026 police or press record names Saravali.
Attention : Unlit rural lanes
- 52AmpelokipoiΑμπελόκηποι · criminalité dans la moyenneAn eastern residential district on the University Road, forming part of the boundary of the Anthoupoli area. It is newer Patras: apartment blocks from the 1980s onward, wide approach roads, supermarkets and car showrooms rather than kafeneia, and a population of families and commuters with a student overlay because of the bus route to Rio. There is nothing for a visitor to see. Against Anthoupoli next door it is much the same in character; against the older inner districts it is greener, quieter and duller, and it appears nowhere in the 2024-2026 police or press reporting on Patras crime.
Attention : Crossing the University Road on foot at night — a fast arterial
- 52Ano SichenaΆνω Συχαινά · criminalité dans la moyenneThe upper half of the Sychaina settlement on the north-eastern edge of the city, recognised as a settlement again in 1951 and attached to the then Municipality of Patras. The Meilichos river runs through Sychaina; in antiquity the temple of Triclarian Artemis stood somewhere near it, though it has never been found. Today Ano Sychaina is a semi-suburban district of detached houses and small blocks on rising ground, with new squares laid out by the municipality and an active property market. Against Anthoupoli below it, it is lower-density and quieter; against the mountain villages further up it is fully part of the city. No crime reporting names it.
Attention : Unlit outer lanes and the open ground toward the river
- 52AnthoupoliΑνθούπολη · criminalité dans la moyenneA northern district of the city, extending between Zavlani and Sychaina in the area beyond the new Archaeological Museum, and consisting mainly of newly built apartment blocks. It absorbed the older Kavoukaki pocket and now reads as one of the more modern residential quarters in Patras: wide roads, recent construction, families and a substantial student population because it is on the convenient side for the University of Patras at Rio. There is nothing here for a short-stay visitor except the museum. Against the older inner districts it is greener, newer and considerably duller, and it is absent from every police and press crime listing in the 2024-2026 record.
Attention : Fast traffic on the arterial roads at night
- 52DrosiaΔροσιά · criminalité dans la moyenneA district on the eastern slope opposite the Agios Andreas General Hospital of Patras, which is what defines it. It is a mixed residential quarter of apartment blocks and older houses, with the population you would expect next to a major hospital: residents, medical staff, families of patients, and the cafes, pharmacies and parking pressure that come with it. Nobody visits Drosia except for the hospital. It borders Tabahana, Pagona and Aroi. Against those it is busier and better lit because of the hospital traffic, and like them it appears in none of the 2024-2026 police patrol or burglary listings.
Attention : Theft from vehicles and visitors around the hospital — 9 hospital incidents citywide in nine months of 2025
- 52GlarakiΓλαράκη · criminalité dans la moyenneA small inner neighbourhood on the eastern slope, listed among the quarters bordering Tabahana and Panagia Alexiotissa along with Sinora, Marouda, Astynomika, Pagona, Drosia and Aroi. It is a minor residential pocket rather than a district with its own centre: older houses and small blocks on narrow streets, a settled population, no institutions and no reason for a visitor to seek it out. The useful comparison is with its neighbours — all of them are ordinary inner quarters that appear in none of the police patrol lists, burglary hotspot listings or incident reporting for Patras in 2024-2026, in contrast with the southern districts a kilometre away.
Attention : Narrow, thinly lit lanes with no late footfall
- 52KotroniΚοτρώνι · criminalité dans la moyenneA small district on the southern side of the city where the municipality has carried out recent infrastructure works, including new steps on Theotoki street, stormwater and water-supply networks, road reconstruction and pavements. It is a modest residential quarter of older houses and small blocks on sloping ground, with a settled local population and no visitor attractions. The pattern of works tells you what it is: a place that had been let go and is being brought up to standard. Against the better-known southern districts it is smaller and unremarked, appearing in none of the police patrol or burglary lists for 2024-2026.
Attention : Steep and stepped streets, poorly lit in older sections
- 52Krini PatronΚρήνης Πατρών · criminalité dans la moyenneA community of the Messatida municipal unit on the plain south-east of Patras, bordering Ovrya. A settled farming-turned-commuter village of detached houses and small holdings. The municipality renamed several streets here in a 2026 decision covering Rio, Girokomeio, Vrachneika, Krini and Tsoukaleika. No incident reporting.
Attention : Unlit rural lanes
- 52KritikaΚρητικά · criminalité dans la moyenneA small old quarter tucked beside the castle in the upper city, settled by Cretan refugees after the 1866 uprising and named for them. It is one of the most compact and least changed parts of Patras: single-storey and two-storey houses, narrow lanes, long-established families, and almost no commercial activity beyond a kafeneio or two. Visitors reach it by accident walking around the castle walls. Against the tourist-facing taverna streets of Ano Poli it is purely residential and quieter, and against Prosfygika, with which it shares a refugee-settlement origin, it has none of the documented policing problems — it is a small, settled, unremarkable neighbourhood.
Attention : Unlit lanes and steps around the castle perimeter at night
- 52Metamorfosi SotirosΜεταμόρφωση Σωτήρος · criminalité dans la moyenneA southern district named after its parish church, south of the Glafkos river on the boundary between the former Kapodistrian municipalities of Patras and Messatida. It developed after 1970 and most of its residents came from the Tritaia area and the villages of Farai, which gives it the feel of a recent, self-made suburb: detached and semi-detached houses, newer blocks, local shops and a strong village-association culture. There is nothing to visit. Against Kryа Iteon and Zarouchleika on the city side of the river it is newer, lower-density and absent from every police patrol and burglary listing in the 2024-2026 record.
Attention : The Glafkos river corridor and unlit lanes after dark
- 52SinoraΣύνορα · criminalité dans la moyenneA small inner district whose name means the borders, because it marked the former city limits — a reminder of how compact Patras was before the twentieth century. It sits on the eastern slope alongside Pagona, Tabahana, Marouda and Glaraki, and is now fully inside the urban fabric: older houses, modest apartment blocks, neighbourhood shops and a settled population. There is nothing for a visitor. Against Pagona immediately north it is smaller and much the same in character, and like its neighbours it appears in none of the 2024-2026 police patrol lists, burglary hotspot lists or incident reporting for Patras.
Attention : Narrow thinly lit streets on the slope at night
- 52TarabouraΤαραμπούρα · criminalité dans la moyenneA southern district near the Glafkos river crossing, between Zarouchleika and Begoulaki, named after the nickname of Dimitrios Aravantinos, a nineteenth-century property owner who ran a cafe here. It is plain residential Patras with a workers' housing estate, Patra 5, at its core, plus older houses, small blocks and neighbourhood shops. There is no visitor interest. Against Zarouchleika immediately north it is smaller and, importantly, carries none of the documented policing attention; against Metamorfosi Sotiros across the Glafkos it is older and closer in. Complaints here have been about estate conditions rather than crime.
Attention : The Glafkos river corridor and open ground after dark
- 52Kato KastritsiΚάτω Καστριτσίου · criminalité dans la moyenneA community of the Rio municipal unit built on the foothills of Mount Panachaiko at 96 m, bordering Rio, the University of Patras and Ano Kastritsi. A hillside settlement of detached houses with views over the gulf, part of the university's residential hinterland. It has one documented crime link: a convicted burglar was tied to break-ins here.
Attention : Residential burglary — one arrested gang member was linked to 12 break-ins in Rio and Kato Kastritsi in 2024-25
- 52KavoukakiΚαβουκάκι · criminalité dans la moyenneA small northern pocket that has effectively been absorbed into the Anthoupoli neighbourhood, whose new apartment blocks now surround it. The name survives in local usage and in addresses rather than as a distinct district with its own centre. In practice it is northern suburban Patras: recent construction, wide roads, families and students on the convenient side for the university at Rio, and the Archaeological Museum nearby. There is nothing for a short-stay visitor. Against Anthoupoli proper there is no meaningful difference in character or risk, and neither appears anywhere in the 2024-2026 police or press crime reporting for the city.
Attention : Fast traffic on the arterial roads at night
- 52PortesΠόρτες · criminalité dans la moyenneThe old southern entrance to the city — Portes means the gates — a name that survives alongside Pratsika, after the Epirot family of Sideris Pratsikas who held property here. It is a small inner-southern quarter on the approach into the centre, built up with older houses and modest blocks and carrying traffic in and out. There is no visitor interest beyond the name's history. Against Vlatero and Tabahana on the old-city threshold it is flatter and more trafficked; against the southern districts beyond it is closer in and better connected. It appears in none of the 2024-2026 police or press crime reporting.
Attention : Crossing the busy approach road on foot at night
- 52PsahouΨάχου · criminalité dans la moyenneA small district on the southern side of the city, one of the minor named quarters that appear in the municipal and Wikipedia listings of Patras neighbourhoods but attract almost no separate coverage. It is residential and low-key: older houses and small blocks, local shops, a settled population, no institutions and no visitor interest. Its neighbours on that side — Kotroni, Ities, Zarouchleika — are better documented, and the useful comparison is that Psahou appears in none of the police patrol lists, burglary hotspot lists or incident reporting for 2024-2026, while Zarouchleika appears in all three.
Attention : Thinly lit residential streets with no late footfall
- 52TerpsitheaΤερψιθέα · criminalité dans la moyenneA residential district on the eastern slope of the city, its name meaning roughly a pleasing view, which is what the higher streets have. It is mid-century and later Patras: apartment blocks and detached houses on steep roads, families and older residents, a church, schools and local shops, with green edges toward the Girokomeio woodland above. Nothing draws a visitor. Compared with Agia Varvara and Pagona on the same side of the city, it is a little higher, a little newer and a little quieter, and like them it is entirely absent from the 2024-2026 police and press reporting on Patras crime.
Attention : Steep unlit residential streets on the upper slope at night
- 52Aghios AndreasΆγιος Ανδρέας · criminalité dans la moyenneThe central quarter spreading around the great domed Cathedral of Saint Andrew at the southern end of the seafront, between the lower-city grid and the water. It is a working central neighbourhood — apartment blocks, shops, offices, the odd hotel — with pilgrims and coach parties for the cathedral by day and residents the rest of the time. It matters to travellers because it is the practical end of town for transport: the railway and intercity bus stations and the North (Old) Port are all close, and guides name it as the convenient choice for an early ferry. Against Ano Poli it is plainer and noisier; against the port strip proper it is far more populated and better lit.
Attention : Bag and phone snatches on the seafront and central streets — the single largest recorded crime category in the city
- 52Agia VarvaraΑγία Βαρβάρα · criminalité dans la moyenneA residential neighbourhood extending south of the city centre at close range, named for its parish church. It is ordinary inner Patras: apartment blocks of various vintages, a few older houses, neighbourhood shops and schools, with a mix of families, older residents and students taking advantage of the short walk into town. There is no visitor attraction. Against Agia Triada, its immediate neighbour toward Prosfygika, it is quieter and has no documented policing profile; against Kryа Iteon and the districts further south it is much closer in and better connected, which makes it one of the more liveable of the southern inner quarters.
Attention : Ordinary street-theft precautions on the walk in and out of the centre after dark
- 52Aghios VassiliosΑγίου Βασιλείου · criminalité dans la moyenneA 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.
Attention : Empty holiday houses out of season
- 52ArachovitikaΑραχοβιτίκων · criminalité dans la moyenneA coastal community of the Rio municipal unit east of the bridge, part of the northern shore strip with Drepano and Psathopyrgos. The sea here, like at Drepano, has currents that make it suitable for surfing. Summer houses, beaches and tavernas; busy in season, quiet out of it. No incident reporting names Arachovitika specifically.
Attention : Sea currents off the shore — the reason it is a surfing spot
- 52DrepanoΔρεπάνου · criminalité dans la moyenneA coastal community of the Rio municipal unit 4 km from Rio at the northernmost point of the Peloponnese, with a characteristic cape and a lighthouse first built in 1888. The sea off Drepano and Arachovitika has currents that make it a surfing spot. Beaches, tavernas and summer houses; an arrest for theft here appeared in a 2026 police bulletin.
Attention : Sea currents off the cape — the reason it is a surfing spot, not a casual swimming one
- 52ItiesΙτιές · criminalité dans la moyenneA southern district whose name means the willows, lying in the belt around the Glafkos toward Lefka and Kryа Iteon. It is a plain residential area of post-war housing and small blocks with local shops, schools and a settled population; the local cultural association has campaigned for Ities and neighbouring Lefka to shake off the neglect and downgrading that characterises them, which is a fair description of the place — worn public space rather than crime. Against Kryа Iteon next door it is much the same; against Zarouchleika to the north it is smaller and has no documented policing profile of its own.
Attention : Poorly lit corners around the adjacent Lefka workers' housing
- 52KallitheaΚαλλιθέας · criminalité dans la moyenneA 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.
Attention : Unlit connecting lanes
- 52Krya IteonΚρύα Ιτεών · criminalité dans la moyenneA neighbourhood in the southern municipal district beside the Glafkos river. It was empty ground until the Asia Minor catastrophe, when the fourth refugee settlement in Patras was created here and many refugees were housed. Today it is plain residential: the newly built parish church of Saints Anthony and Charalambos, the 19th Gymnasium of Patras and the Glafkos indoor sports hall sit here among post-war blocks and older houses. Nobody visits. Against Prosfygika, the first and much more heavily policed refugee settlement, Krya Iteon has no documented crime profile at all — a useful reminder that the refugee-settlement origin is not the variable that matters.
Attention : The Glafkos river corridor after dark
- 52OvriaΟβριάς · criminalité dans la moyenneThe largest settlement of the Messatida municipal unit, south-east of the city and effectively a commuter suburb rather than a village, with some 9,500 residents at the 2001 census. It borders Mintilogli, Krini, Saravali, Paralia and Petroto. Ordinary suburban housing, schools and shops; no visitor draw and no incident reporting.
Attention : Unlit connecting lanes between settlements
- 52TsivdiΤσιβδή · criminalité dans la moyenneA central quarter near the site of the old harbour, and the historic Jewish neighbourhood of Patras from the second Venetian period until the 1821 revolution — a closed and, by contemporary accounts, insanitary quarter then. Today it is the opposite: a quiet central neighbourhood with a good stock of neoclassical buildings and commercial premises at street level, within the lower-city grid and an easy walk of the seafront and the North Port. Visitors pass through it on the way between the station area and the centre. Against the nightlife streets a few blocks away it is markedly calmer, and it appears in no crime reporting for 2024-2026.
Attention : Bag and phone snatches, the largest recorded crime category in the city
- 52TsoukaleikaΤσουκαλαιίκων · criminalité dans la moyenneA coastal suburb of Patras in its southern section, 13 km from the centre and 3 km from Kato Achaia, bordering Vrachneika, Kaminia and the neighbouring village of Alissos. Houses, a beach and a summer population, with its own seasonal bus route from the city. The municipality renamed several streets here in 2026. No incident reporting names Tsoukaleika.
Attention : Empty holiday houses out of season
- 52VrachneikaΒραχναιίκων · criminalité dans la moyenneThe seat of its own municipal unit, a coastal suburb on the southern shore road out of Patras, with a permanent population, a beach and a summer-house belt. It is one of the few outlying settlements with a documented crime profile: police name it among the consistently high-risk zones for residential burglaries, and a coastal burglary ring worked it in 2025-26.
Attention : Residential burglary — Vrachneika is on the police high-risk list
- 51MonodendriΜονοδενδρίου · criminalité dans la moyenneA community of the Vrachnaiika municipal unit on the southern coastal plain, on the tourist route between Roitika and Vrachneika. A small settlement of houses and holdings behind the shore, included in the completed municipal sewerage scheme for the southern villages. No incident reporting names Monodendri.
Attention : Unlit lanes between settlements
- 51ParaliaΠαραλίας · criminalité dans la moyenneThe seat of its own municipal unit on the southern shore, the first of the coastal settlements as you leave Patras heading south-west, with a beach, tavernas and a mix of permanent and summer housing. It was included in the completed municipal sewerage scheme. Paralia Patron is one of the settlements a coastal burglary ring worked between October 2025 and April 2026.
Attention : Coastal homes — a ring hit Paralia Patron among other coastal settlements in morning hours
- 51RogitikaΡογιτίκων · criminalité dans la moyenneA community of the Paralia municipal unit on the southern coastal plain, about 9 km from the centre of Patras. A modest settlement of houses, small holdings and some summer building on the flat ground behind the shore. It was included in the municipal sewerage scheme for the southern villages. No incident reporting.
Attention : Unlit lanes between settlements
- 51MintilogliΜιντιλογλίου · criminalité dans la moyenneA community of the Paralia municipal unit on the southern coastal plain, bordering Ovrya. A settled village with its own football club, Asteras, founded in 1985, now largely a commuter and holiday settlement. A municipal sewerage scheme covering Vrachneika, Monodendri, Roitika, Mintilogli, Ovrya, Demenika and Paralia has been completed. No incident reporting.
Attention : Unlit lanes between settlements
- 51KaminiaΚαμινίων · criminalité dans la moyenneA coastal suburb of Patras in its southern section, 14 km from the city centre and 3 km from Kato Achaia, with 716 inhabitants. Houses, beaches and a summer population. Like the other southern coastal villages, it was worked by a burglary ring targeting coastal homes between October 2025 and April 2026.
Attention : Coastal homes — a ring hit Kaminia among other coastal settlements, mainly in morning hours
Où loger plutôt
Calme et bien éclairé, le genre d'endroit qu'on conseille à la plupart des visiteurs.
- 52PititsaΠιτίτσης · criminalité dans la moyenneA mountain community of the Rio municipal unit on Panachaiko, which in 1912 was placed in the newly established community of Sella. A very small upland village of stone houses with an older population and weekend visitors, on the roads toward the ski centre. No institutions and no incident reporting in the 2024-2026 record.
Attention : Winding unlit mountain roads, and winter weather
- 52Ano KastritsioΆνω Καστριτσίου · criminalité dans la moyenneA village and the seat of its community in the Rio municipal unit, 10 km from Patras on the foothills of Panachaiko at 482 m. It is a proper hill village with stone houses, plane trees and views down over the gulf and the bridge, reached by a winding road up from Kato Kastritsi. Walkers and Sunday lunch trade; no incident reporting.
Attention : Winding unlit mountain road up from the coast
- 52ElikistraΕλικίστρας · criminalité dans la moyenneA small inland community of the Patras municipal unit east of the city, with a permanent population of 276 at the 2021 census. It is a hill village of stone and modern houses, olive ground and a church, with a largely older population and some weekend residents. It borders the Riganokampos ground on the city's eastern edge. No incident reporting at all.
Attention : Unlit mountain roads with no phone reception in places
- 52GirokomeioΓηροκομείο · criminalité dans la moyenneAn eastern hillside district named for the historic monastery of the Girokomeio, one of the oldest in Greece, which still stands here. It is the greenest of the inner neighbourhoods: woodland with laid-out recreation areas, wide views over the gulf, an unusually good microclimate, the Konstantopouleio old people's home, and detached houses and low blocks along the approach roads. People come up for the monastery, the grove and the air. Against the dense districts below it is quieter, leafier and more expensive, and against Terpsithea and Pagona on the same slope it is higher, more open and more institutional. No crime reporting in the 2024-2026 record names it.
Attention : The grove and monastery grounds after dark — unlit and unfrequented
- 52SellaΣελλών · criminalité dans la moyenneA mountain community of the Rio municipal unit on the slopes of Panachaiko, which in 1912 became the seat of a new community together with Pititsa. It is a small upland village of stone houses and terraces with an older population and weekend visitors, on the road up toward the ski centre. No incident reporting in the 2024-2026 record.
Attention : Winding unlit mountain roads, and weather in winter
- 52ArgyraΑργυράς · criminalité dans la moyenneA mountain community of the Rio municipal unit on the Panachaiko slopes above the gulf. A small upland village of stone houses, springs and plane trees with a mainly older resident population and weekenders from Patras. No institutions, no visitor infrastructure beyond a taverna or two, and no incident reporting in the 2024-2026 record.
Attention : Winding unlit mountain roads, and weather in winter
- 52SouliouΣουλίου · criminalité dans la moyenneAn inland community of the Patras municipal unit in the hills east of the city, alongside Elikistra and Moira. Neo Souli is listed among the settlements bordering the Riganokampos ground. A small upland village of houses and olive terraces with an older resident population and weekenders. No incident reporting at all.
Attention : Unlit mountain roads at night
- 52DafnesΔάφνες · criminalité dans la moyenneThe coastal stretch belonging to Proastio at the northern approach to Patras, and one of the beaches city residents actually use in summer. It is a low-density shore strip of holiday and permanent houses, beach bars and tavernas that fill up between June and September and go quiet the rest of the year, with Kastelokampos and the university belt immediately north. There is no urban fabric to speak of and nothing to do outside the season. Against Paralia Proastiou it is much the same kind of place; against the inner city it is a different world — suburban, seasonal and calm.
Attention : Empty holiday houses out of season — the wider district is a burglary hotspot
- 52KrystallovryssiΚρυσταλλόβρυσης · criminalité dans la moyenneA community of the Messatida municipal unit on the rising ground inland of the southern plain, among Petroto, Thea and Krini. A small settlement of scattered houses and holdings named for its spring, with a local population and no visitor infrastructure. Nothing in the 2024-2026 Greek press or Hellenic Police record names Krystallovrysi.
Attention : Unlit rural roads
- 52Paralia ProastiouΠαραλία Προαστίου · criminalité dans la moyenneThe shore section of Proastio at the northern approach to the city, one of the three parts the district divides into alongside Ano and Kato Proastio. It is a strip of beach, summer houses, permanent homes, tavernas and beach bars used mainly by Patras residents rather than tourists, busy from June to September and quiet the rest of the year. There is no urban fabric and nothing to see out of season. Against Dafnes next along the coast it is near-identical; against Kastelokampos to the north it is less institutional, with no university or hospital traffic to give it a year-round population.
Attention : Empty holiday houses out of season — the wider district is a burglary hotspot
- 52PetrotoΠετρωτού · criminalité dans la moyenneA community of the Messatida municipal unit inland from the southern coastal plain, bordering Ovrya. A small farming settlement of scattered houses and olive ground with an older resident population. Nothing in the 2024-2026 Greek press or Hellenic Police record names Petroto, and there is no visitor infrastructure.
Attention : Unlit rural roads
- 52AkteoΑκταίου · criminalité dans la moyenneA community of the Rio municipal unit on the northern coast, listed officially as Aktaio/Vernadaiika.
