Κουκούλι · district
Koukouli scores 57 out of 100 for property crime — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 4,041 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 district on the south-eastern side of Patras, bordering Agios Georgios Langoura to the north, Eglykada to the north-east and Perivola to the south-east. It is defined by its institutions: the Pan-Peloponnesian National Sports Centre (PEAK Patras) and the former TEI of Western Greece sit here, which gives it a student and sporting population on top of its residents. Housing is a mix of post-war blocks and newer building on the slope. Against Eglykada next door it has no burglary-hotspot listing, and against Perivola it is closer in and busier. Visitors come for a match or an event, not to stay.
Quiet outside event nights, when the sports centre generates crowds and traffic. Lighting is adequate around the institutions and patchier on residential streets. No incidents, patrol priorities or burglary listings in the 2024-2026 record name Koukouli.
Only if you are here for an event or the campus. Little formal accommodation, 3-4 km from the centre and a long way from the ferry gates. Not a base for an early boat.
