Patras is a very safe city in general, most of its population is university students and almost everyone is open to meet and willing to help. I have lived here for almost a year and I have never felt threatened or unsafe.

Overall pretty safe, most crime is about house robberies, or theft in general. Mostly during the night though. I would be careful walking at night in the places marked on the map, during the day its okay.

Patras is a safe place at all. It’s a small city between mountains and sea, with a good transportation system (bus+train) and quite people. Streets are safe and bad incidents are isolated. As a student here for 4 years, I never worried about my safety!

Overall safe place, of course some areas are quite sketchy, especially at night. City center is mostly safe as well, pickpocketing is not so common. Still as a female I would be cautious walking alone at night.

I am a medical student from Greece, studying at the University of Patras since 2021. Greek is my maternal language and I also speak English fluently,intermediate French and a little bit of Spanish.I am lucky enough to travel from a young age with my parents and now I have the chance to do it on my own. I have seen couple of European cities such as Marseille, Nice, Cannes, Budapest, Vienna, Berlin, Belgrade, Niš, Sofia, Nicosia, Amsterdam, Prague and a great part of Italy(Milan, Verrona, Venice, Bergamo and many Sicilian cities). I'm open from showing around and catching up in the beautiful city of Patras to even provide a place to stay in my apartment🌼❤
