Kifisia scores 59 out of 100 (modelled estimate, Eurostat 2021–2024) for violent crime — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. Kifisia has no police figures of its own. Its estimate is Kalamaria's rate — Kalamaria scores 58 for violent crime — and the 1 point between them comes from how the model shares Kalamaria's total out, not from anything measured in Kifisia. An estimated 2,411 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 Kifisia is actually like
A small inland subdivision of Kalamaria, listed first among the municipality's settlements in its heritage records. Today it is ordinary Kalamaria apartment housing with local shops and schools and no distinct centre of its own. There is no dedicated coverage of Kifisia in police releases, Thessaloniki press, municipal safety statements or travel writing, and searches for it are dominated by the much better-known Kifisia in Athens. There is nothing specific to report and nothing specific to warn about. The Friday street market (laiki) that carries its name sets up on Zirganou street and the streets off it, right at its edge.
After dark
Residential and quiet after dark, with no nightlife and no documented incidents.
What to watch for
- Nothing area-specific is documented
Staying here
Fine, unremarkable, walkable to the centre. No reason to choose or avoid it specifically.
