Καραμπουρνάκι · district
Karabournaki scores 48 out of 100 for overall safety — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 7,908 people at 12,861 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.
The headland quarter at Kalamaria's northwestern edge, where the municipality meets the city's eastern seafront, named after Karaburun in Asia Minor. It is best known for the archaeological excavation on the tell and for the old airfield land behind it. Residentially it is quiet, middle-class and low-rise by Thessaloniki standards. There is no police reporting or local news coverage that identifies Karabournaki as a crime location - the Kalamaria incidents that reach the press are recorded at municipality level.
Residential and quiet. The seafront path is used by walkers and runners into the evening; the inland streets empty early. No documented night-time problem.
Yes, if you want quiet and a seafront walk. Fewer rentals and less commerce than Nea Krini or the centre.
