Ampelones has no police figures of its own, so its estimate is Pavlos Melas's: both score 45 for overall safety. An estimated 1,809 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 Ampelones is actually like
An older residential zone of the Stavroupoli unit, listed with Terpsithea and Neoktista. The name means vineyards, recording what the land was before the city reached it. Today it is ordinary dense housing. There is no crime reporting, municipal safety statement or travel coverage specific to Ampelones, and the name is generic enough that searches return farming content and a village in Larissa rather than anything about this neighbourhood. There is nothing area-specific to report in either direction. The nearest weekly street market (laiki) is on Sofokleous street on Wednesdays, just outside its edge; it is listed as Stavroupoli (Kapnomagaza).
After dark
Residential and quiet. No documented night-time incidents specific to Ampelones.
What to watch for
- Overnight shopfront break-ins across the wider Stavroupoli area
Staying here
No. Residential, nothing for visitors, slow connections to the centre.
