Ρολόι · district
Roloi scores 32 out of 100 for overall safety — above-average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 7,613 people at 6,745 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.
Not a district but Neapoli's central square - formally Plateia Eirinis, universally called Roloi, the clock. It sits at the junction of Venizelou and Andrea Papandreou and is the neighbourhood's default meeting point: locals say they will meet at the clock, not at the square. There is a fountain, benches, older people sitting out and younger crowds in the evening. No crime reporting names Roloi specifically; it is the most overlooked and best-used public space in the municipality.
Busy and well overlooked well into the evening, which is exactly what makes a square safe. Ordinary crowd-awareness applies. Andrea Papandreou avenue, which meets the square, was flagged in older 2020 reporting on youth incidents.
A good orientation point rather than a place to book. Staying within a few streets of it puts you in the liveliest part of Neapoli.
