Meteora 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. Meteora 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 Meteora. An estimated 3,501 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 Meteora is actually like
A named neighbourhood of the Polichni unit, on the boundary between Polichni and its neighbours - Polichni is explicitly described as bordering Meteora. It is ordinary dense residential housing with local shops. There is no crime reporting, municipal safety material or travel coverage specific to Meteora, and searches are entirely dominated by the monasteries of Meteora in Thessaly, which makes it one of the harder names in this municipality to research honestly. Nothing here justifies either a warning or a recommendation. The nearest weekly street market (laiki) is Polichni's Thursday market on Filippou street, about 250 m beyond its edge.
After dark
Residential and quiet. No documented night-time incidents specific to the area.
What to watch for
- Nothing area-specific is documented
Staying here
No. Residential, unremarkable and far from anything a visitor wants.
