Begoulaki scores 46 out of 100 for violent crime — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 4,122 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 southern district that began as a separate settlement and was absorbed as Patras expanded, its name taken from a Turkish landowner of the Ottoman period. It lies near the Glafkos crossing, with Taraboura between it and Zarouchleika. It is plain residential Patras — post-war blocks, older houses, workshops and neighbourhood shops — with a settled local population and no visitor draw at all. Against Zarouchleika, the big district on its other side, it is smaller and carries none of the documented policing attention; against Metamorfosi Sotiros across the river it is older and closer in. An unremarkable, quiet corner of the southern city.
Quiet residential streets with modest lighting and little late footfall. The Glafkos river corridor and the industrial edges are dark and empty. No documented incidents, patrol priorities or burglary listings name Begoulaki.
Little to book and no reason to choose it over the centre. It is on the southern side, which is the right direction for the Italy ferries, but you would still take a taxi to the South Port gates.
