Άνω Καστριτσίου · district
Ano Kastritsiou scores 58 out of 100 for property crime — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 832 people at 618 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.
A village and the seat of its community in the Rio municipal unit, 10 km from Patras on the foothills of Panachaiko at 482 m. It is a proper hill village with stone houses, plane trees and views down over the gulf and the bridge, reached by a winding road up from Kato Kastritsi. Walkers and Sunday lunch trade; no incident reporting.
Silent and very dark, with no lighting away from the square and no through traffic. Nothing documented.
Pleasant as a rural stay with a car, with a handful of guesthouses. No use for an early Italy ferry — allow 40 minutes or more to the South Port.
