Pefka scores 29 out of 100 (modelled estimate, Eurostat 2021–2024) for property crime — above-average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. Pefka has no police figures of its own, so its estimate is Neapoli-Sykies's: both score 29 for property crime. It is home to about 13,052 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 Pefka is actually like
Pevka, the municipality's uppermost unit on the wooded slope near the ring road, and the greenest and most suburban of the four. It closes the municipality's summer cultural programme each year. Its one piece of safety history is old and should be dated honestly: in January 2020 the mayor publicly raised a surge in incidents including attacks on students, with Pevka named as the site of a recent attack and Andrea Papandreou avenue flagged as a concern. No comparable reporting for Pevka was found for 2024-2026.
After dark
Quiet, leafy and suburban, with little late transport and long dark stretches near the treeline. No recent documented incidents.
What to watch for
- Thin lighting and transport on the upper slope
- School-hours friction near schools, per older reporting
Staying here
Not practical for visitors - furthest from the centre with the weakest connections. Pleasant residential area.
Reputation against reality. The attacks-on-students reporting is from January 2020, and the mayor's complaint then was about inadequate police coverage. Treating it as current would be misleading.
