Προφήτης Ηλίας · district
Profitis Ilias 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 2,324 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 hillside neighbourhood named, as such places usually are in Greece, for the chapel of the Prophet Elias on the high point above it. It is a residential district on the eastern slope of the city with a mix of older houses and newer blocks, good views over the gulf from the upper streets, and a settled local population. People walk up for the view and the chapel. Against Girokomeio further along the slope it is more built up and less wooded; against the dense inner quarters below it is quieter and greener. It appears in none of the 2024-2026 police or press crime reporting for Patras.
Quiet and residential, with the upper slopes and the ground around the chapel dark and unfrequented. Lighting on the residential streets is modest. No documented incidents, patrol priorities or burglary listings name Profitis Ilias.
Pleasant and quiet if you find a short let with a view, and a car helps. Not a base for an early Italy ferry — you are uphill on the eastern side and a long way from the South Port gates.
