Treis Gefyres has no police figures of its own. Its estimate starts from Athens's rate — Athens scores 23 for violent crime — and is adjusted for documented local reporting about Treis Gefyres. An estimated 7,197 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 Treis Gefyres is actually like
A small quarter in the northwest corner of the municipality, at the top of Liosion where the national road crosses — the three bridges that name it. It is part infrastructure, part housing: the Liosion KTEL intercity bus terminal sits here, and the rail corridor that a four-track and undergrounding project has been rebuilding runs straight through. Most people who pass through are catching a coach to central Greece, not stopping.
After dark
Coaches keep the terminal area alive at odd hours but the surrounding streets are a mix of yards, workshops and blocks with little life; it reads as a transport edge, not a neighbourhood centre.
What to watch for
- Bag theft around the Liosion KTEL terminal and its waiting areas, as at any coach station
- Heavy traffic and poor pavements on Liosion caused by coach movements
- Ongoing railway works between the Athens station exit and Treis Gefyres, with closures and diversions
Staying here
Only if you have a 6am coach. Otherwise it is an infrastructure corner with no evening life and an awkward connection to the centre.
Reputation against reality. Not named in the police plan or in travel-safety writing. The complaints residents actually make are about traffic, cleanliness and neglected pavements, not crime.
