Elikistras crime and safety

Ελικίστρας · district

52/100

Elikistras scores 52 out of 100 for overall safetyaverage crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 1,538 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 Elikistras is actually like

A good place to stayQuiet and well-lit, and the sort of place most visitors are pointed to.

A 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.

After dark

Silent and very dark. No street lighting away from the village core and no through traffic. Nothing documented.

What to watch for

  • Unlit mountain roads with no phone reception in places
  • Isolated houses left empty midweek

Staying here

Only as a rural retreat with a car. No practical use for a ferry connection — allow 30-40 minutes to the South Port.
