Γλαράκη · district
Glaraki scores 52 out of 100 for overall safety — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 605 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.
A 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.
Quiet, narrow and thinly lit, with almost no late footfall. No documented incidents or patrol priorities name Glaraki. The practical concern is isolation and footing rather than crime.
Essentially nothing to book. If something turns up you are close to the centre, but Ano Poli and the centre proper are better choices. Taxi to the South Port for an early Italy ferry.
