Vrachnaiikon 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 2,664 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.
The seat of its own municipal unit, a coastal suburb on the southern shore road out of Patras, with a permanent population, a beach and a summer-house belt. It is one of the few outlying settlements with a documented crime profile: police name it among the consistently high-risk zones for residential burglaries, and a coastal burglary ring worked it in 2025-26.
Quiet out of season, busier along the shore in summer. Empty second homes are the recurring target rather than people on the street.
Pleasant for a summer seaside stay with a car. Around 20 minutes' drive south of the centre, so workable for an Italy ferry if you allow time to reach the South Port.
