Κοτρώνι · district
Kotroni 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 4,577 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 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.
Quiet and residential. Sloping streets with modest lighting, improved in parts by the recent works, and little late footfall. No documented incidents or patrol priorities name Kotroni.
No — nothing to book, nothing to see, and no advantage over the centre for either port. Choose the centre, Ano Poli or Agios Andreas.
