Anothen Asylou scores 47 out of 100 (modelled estimate, Eurostat 2021–2024) for overall safety — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. Anothen Asylou has no police figures of its own. Its estimate is Pavlos Melas's rate — Pavlos Melas scores 45 for overall safety — and the 2 points between them come from how the model shares Pavlos Melas's total out, not from anything measured in Anothen Asylou. An estimated 2,434 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 Anothen Asylou is actually like
Literally 'above the asylum' - a subdivision named for its position uphill from the former psychiatric hospital grounds, and listed in municipal sources under both the Stavroupoli and Polichni units. It is peripheral residential housing on the upper slope of the municipality. There is no crime reporting, municipal safety statement or travel coverage specific to Anothen Asylou; it is one of the smallest and least documented names on this list, and the honest position is that no local record exists. Two weekly street markets (laiki) fall inside its outline on the map: Wednesday's on Fleming street, 07:00-14:30, and Thursday's on A. Velouchioti street, which the market list files under Nikopoli (Stavroupoli).
After dark
Quiet, sloping residential streets with little through traffic and thin lighting on the upper edges. No documented incidents.
What to watch for
- Sparse foot traffic and lighting on the upper peripheral streets
Staying here
No. Peripheral residential housing with nothing for visitors.
