Ano Ilioupoli crime and safety

Άνω Ηλιούπολη · district

47/100

Ano Ilioupoli scores 47 out of 100 for overall safetyaverage crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 4,315 people at 4,111 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.

What Ano Ilioupoli is actually like

Ordinary city precautionsNo specific problem on record beyond what any dense city centre has.

The upper half of Ilioupoli, on the higher ground of the Stavroupoli unit. It is listed in municipal and encyclopaedic sources as a distinct neighbourhood but has no separate coverage in police releases, Greek press or travel writing - the 2024 shop break-in reporting names Ilioupoli without distinguishing upper from lower. This is dense residential Thessaloniki with corner shops and no centre of its own. There is nothing area-specific to report, and no basis for treating it differently from Stavroupoli as a whole.

After dark

Quiet, residential, steeply laid out and dark on the back streets. No documented incidents specific to Ano Ilioupoli.

What to watch for

  • Nothing area-specific is documented beyond the wider Stavroupoli shop break-in pattern
