Ellinoroson scores 33 out of 100 (modelled estimate, Eurostat 2021–2024) for overall safety — above-average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. Ellinoroson has no police figures of its own. Its estimate is Athens's rate — Athens scores 25 for overall safety — and the 8 points between them come from how the model shares Athens's total out, not from anything measured in Ellinoroson. An estimated 8,087 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 Ellinoroson is actually like
Ellinoroson is a small urban extension of Ampelokipoi in the 7th municipal district, north of the junction of Katechaki and Mesogeion avenues and running up to the Neo Psychiko boundary. It was settled by Greek refugees from Russia, which gives it its name, and it borders Erythros Stavros, Girokomeio, Ampelokipoi and Neo Psychiko. Its main streets are Karatheodori and Adrianiou, the latter named after the Hadrianic aqueduct that ran through here.
After dark
Quiet, suburban in feel and almost entirely residential, with no bar strip and little through traffic. Katechaki metro is the practical link in and out.
What to watch for
- Fast traffic on Leoforos Katechaki and Leoforos Mesogeion, with long gaps between pedestrian crossings
- Almost no street life after dark — residential blocks and office frontage, nothing open late
- Katechaki metro is the only practical link; miss the last train and it is a taxi
Staying here
Safe and well connected for commuting, but far from the sights and with nothing on the doorstep. Only worth booking for a work trip in the Mesogeion office corridor or a long-term relocation.
Reputation against reality. Effectively unknown outside Athens and absent from every safety discussion. Most listings will sell it as Ampelokipoi or Neo Psychiko.
