Tabouria scores 37 out of 100 for violent crime — above-average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 11,274 people at 13,556 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 big historic district straddling the Piraeus-Keratsini boundary, filling the north-west corner of the city, bordering Nikaia to the north, Kopi to the south and Agia Sofia to the east. The name comes from the earthwork redoubts Karaiskakis threw up here in 1827. The population is mixed: families from the Mani around Agios Dimitrios, descendants of Asia Minor refugees around Agios Panteleimon and the Ypapanti church, founded 1924.
Quiet residential streets on a plain grid, little street life beyond the church squares, and few reasons for outsiders to be there after dark. No incidents documented in Tabouria specifically in 2024-26; drug enforcement has focused on the freight port and on Nikaia and Korydallos.
No visitor accommodation worth the name, no metro, and a long way from every ferry gate. Skip it; there is nothing to gain by booking here.
Reputation against reality. Tabouria is the district most often named in casual 'avoid western Piraeus' advice, but almost none of the 2024-26 documented incidents in the Piraeus area are located there. Treat it as unremarkable and unvisited rather than dangerous.
