Nikopoli scores 48 out of 100 (modelled estimate, Eurostat 2021–2024) for violent crime — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. Nikopoli has no police figures of its own. Its estimate is Pavlos Melas's rate — Pavlos Melas scores 50 for violent crime — and the 2 points between them come from how the model shares Pavlos Melas's total out, not from anything measured in Nikopoli. An estimated 3,872 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 Nikopoli is actually like
A subdivision name that appears twice inside Pavlos Melas - listed both among the Stavroupoli unit's neighbourhoods and among Efkarpia's - which tells you how small and how loosely bounded these units are. It is peripheral residential housing on the municipality's northern side. There is no crime reporting, municipal safety statement or travel coverage specific to Nikopoli. Note also the unrelated ancient Nikopoli in Epirus dominates search results, so anything claiming detailed local knowledge of this one deserves scepticism. The Thursday street market (laiki) on A. Velouchioti street is listed as Nikopoli (Stavroupoli); it sets up about 850 m from the edge of the area outlined here.
After dark
Quiet, low-density, thin street lighting on the outer edges. No documented incidents.
What to watch for
- Sparse foot traffic on peripheral streets after dark
Staying here
No. Too far out, with nothing for visitors.
