Sinora scores 51 out of 100 (modelled estimate, Eurostat 2021–2024) for overall safety — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. Sinora has no police figures of its own, so its estimate is Patras's: both score 51 for overall safety. An estimated 1,414 people live there: the 2021 census counts the surrounding community as a whole, and this is its share by area.
The score is absolute, not a ranking: 50 is the offence rate of Greece as a whole and every doubling of the rate costs the same points, so any two places compare directly. How the scores are made

What Sinora is actually like
An 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 still forms the natural boundary of the city with the settlement of Eglykada. It sits on the eastern side alongside Pagona, Tabahana, Marouda and Glaraki, and borders Agialexiotissa, Girokomeio, Eglykada and Kantrianika. It was built up after an army camp for the 12th Infantry Regiment was laid out here in 1911-12; the camp, named after Lieutenant Colonel Andreas Mouzakis, has housed the army's technical training centre since 1957 (KETX since 1973), and the 409 Military Hospital here hosts the maternity, ENT and eye clinics and the neonatal unit of the Agios Andreas General Hospital. Around them: older houses, modest apartment blocks, neighbourhood shops and a settled population. 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.
After dark
Quiet residential streets, narrow and thinly lit in places, with little late activity. No documented incidents or patrol priorities name Sinora. Treat it as an ordinary inner neighbourhood after midnight.
What to watch for
- Narrow thinly lit streets on the slope at night
- Standard home and vehicle security
Staying here
Little to book. Central enough to be practical if something comes up, but Ano Poli and the centre are better choices. Take a taxi to the South Port for an early Italy sailing.
