Mikra scores 48 out of 100 (modelled estimate, Eurostat 2021–2024) for overall safety — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. Mikra has no police figures of its own, so its estimate is Kalamaria's: both score 48 for overall safety. An estimated 8,251 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 Mikra is actually like
Kalamaria's southeastern edge, towards the old Mikra airfield land, and now the terminus of the metro extension - the Mikra station opened with the 2025 Kalamaria line and is the interchange point for the park-and-ride traffic coming in from the southeast. The area is a mix of newer residential blocks, sports and institutional land rather than a traditional refugee quarter core, though Mikra is listed among Kalamaria's historic settlement names. No crime reporting specific to Mikra was found for 2024-2026. The nearest weekly street markets (laiki) are Foinikas's Thursday market, just beyond its edge, and Nea Krini's Tuesday market on Lykoudi street, 07:00-14:30, about 300 m away.
After dark
Thin on street life after dark - wide roads, car-oriented, few pedestrians. That makes it feel deserted rather than dangerous. No documented night-time incidents.
What to watch for
- Car-dominated layout with long stretches of little foot traffic
Staying here
Only if the metro terminus and easy parking matter more to you than atmosphere. The centre and seafront are better bases.
