Theriano scores 67 out of 100 (modelled estimate, Eurostat 2021–2024) for overall safety — below-average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. Theriano has no police figures of its own. Its estimate is Patras's rate — Patras scores 51 for overall safety — and the 16 points between them come from how the model shares Patras's total out, not from anything measured in Theriano. It is home to about 133 people (2021 census).
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 Theriano is actually like
A village and community of the Vrachnaiika municipal unit inland of the southern coastal plain, at about 140 m and 15 km in a straight line from Plateia Georgiou in central Patras, with 158 residents at the 2021 census. Its entrance quarter, Tourkomnimata, also called Kanelaiika, lies on the local road that links the Patras Industrial Area (VIPE) with the Patras-Pyrgos national road. Ancient Olenos is being sought between Theriano and Tsoukaleika, and excavation has recently brought remains to light at Kanelaiika. A small settlement of houses and holdings with a local population and no visitor infrastructure; no city bus comes here, and the nearest public transport is the suburban railway at Tsoukaleika and Kaminia. Nothing in the 2024-2026 Greek press or Hellenic Police record names Theriano.
After dark
Quiet and dark, with no lighting away from the core and little through traffic. Nothing documented.
What to watch for
- Unlit rural lanes
- Isolated houses; standard burglary precautions
Staying here
Only as a rural base with a car. No visitor accommodation of note and no advantage for an early Italy ferry.
