Nea Varna scores 29 out of 100 (modelled estimate, Eurostat 2021–2024) for overall safety — above-average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. Nea Varna has no police figures of its own. Its estimate is Neapoli-Sykies's rate — Neapoli-Sykies scores 31 for overall safety — and the 2 points between them come from how the model shares Neapoli-Sykies's total out, not from anything measured in Nea Varna. An estimated 2,212 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 Nea Varna is actually like
A small named settlement pocket in the municipality, of the refugee-naming type common across northern Thessaloniki, where quarters were named after the places their first residents came from. It does not appear in the municipal subdivision material or in any police or press source consulted, and no population, boundary or description was found for it. There is nothing documented to report about Nea Varna, and a safety guide should say so rather than manufacture a profile from the name alone. Neapoli's Monday street market (laiki) sets up inside it, on Mitropoleos street between Mitr. Karavangeli and Kastamonis, 07:00-14:30.
After dark
No documented night-time pattern. The municipality's general picture applies: acquisitive crime against shops and property, not street violence.
