Megas Alexandros 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. Megas Alexandros 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 Megas Alexandros. An estimated 168 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 Megas Alexandros is actually like
This name does not appear in the official subdivision lists for any of the three Pavlos Melas municipal units in the sources consulted. In local use it refers to the area around the Megas Alexandros avenue and its surrounding blocks - a street-derived neighbourhood label rather than a recognised administrative district, of the kind common across western Thessaloniki. That matters for a safety guide: there is no boundary, no population figure, no municipal page and no crime reporting attached to it, and nothing found in 2024-2026 sources names it. The nearest weekly street markets (laiki) are Thursday's on A. Velouchioti street and Wednesday's on Fleming street, both about half a kilometre from the area outlined on the map.
After dark
No documented night-time pattern specific to this name. The surrounding Pavlos Melas picture applies: quiet residential streets, with overnight shopfront break-ins the recorded concern.
