Rogitika scores 60 out of 100 (modelled estimate, Eurostat 2021–2024) for property crime — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. Rogitika has no police figures of its own. Its estimate is Patras's rate — Patras scores 55 for property crime — and the 5 points between them come from how the model shares Patras's total out, not from anything measured in Rogitika. It is home to about 1,288 people (2021 census).
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 Rogitika is actually like
A community of the Paralia municipal unit on the southern coast, about 9 km from the centre of Patras (8 km in a straight line from Plateia Georgiou), with 1,194 residents at the 2021 census. The first houses stand about 15 m from the sea; the settlement divides into Kato Roitika, with the small cape of Mytikas, Ano Roitika and Goumenitsanika, and has a six-class primary school and the village's main church, Agioi Konstantinos and Eleni. By the 1890s it was a resort with villas of well-off Patras families, and it is on the municipal sewerage scheme for the southern villages, which was nearing completion in July 2026. No incident reporting. The Monodendri branch of city bus 501 stops on Plateia Roitika, the Tsaousi - Mintilogli stop of the suburban railway serves the area, and the nearest street market in the municipal regulation is Paralia's, on Friday mornings.
After dark
Quiet, with dark lanes between the built-up parts and little late movement. Nothing documented.
What to watch for
- Unlit lanes between settlements
- Second homes left empty out of season
Staying here
Workable as a cheap coastal-plain base with a car, and close enough to the South Port to be practical for an Italy sailing if you allow time.
