Krya Iteon scores 45 out of 100 (modelled estimate, Eurostat 2021–2024) for violent crime — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. Krya Iteon has no police figures of its own. Its estimate is Patras's rate — Patras scores 47 for violent crime — and the 2 points between them come from how the model shares Patras's total out, not from anything measured in Krya Iteon. An estimated 2,508 people live there: the 2021 census counts the surrounding community as a whole, and this is its share by area.
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 Krya Iteon is actually like
A neighbourhood in the southern municipal district beside the Glafkos river. It was empty ground until the Asia Minor catastrophe, when the fourth refugee settlement in Patras was created here and many refugees were housed. Today it is plain residential: the newly built parish church of Saints Anthony and Charalambos, the 19th Gymnasium of Patras and the Glafkos indoor sports hall sit here among post-war blocks and older houses. Nobody visits. Against Prosfygika, the first and much more heavily policed refugee settlement, Krya Iteon has no documented crime profile at all — a useful reminder that the refugee-settlement origin is not the variable that matters.
After dark
Quiet residential streets with the river corridor and the sports hall surroundings dark outside event nights. Little late footfall. No documented incidents, patrol priorities or burglary listings name Krya Iteon.
What to watch for
- The Glafkos river corridor after dark
- Quiet surroundings of the sports hall outside event nights
- Standard home security
Staying here
Little to book and nothing to see, so not a sensible short-stay choice. It is on the southern side, which shortens the run to the Italy ferries slightly, but take a taxi to the South Port gates.
Reputation against reality. Krya Iteon is sometimes lumped in with Prosfygika because both began as refugee settlements. The police and press record of 2024-2026 separates them clearly: Prosfygika appears repeatedly, Krya Iteon not at all.
