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!

Patras is a relatively safe city. Even though some streets are dark at night, it's pretty safe. I live there by myself and I feel safe in public transportation, I usually come home by myself at night, the worst thing that has happened is either catcalling by young teenage boys or old men hitting on me, but without getting close to me. The elderly in Greece generally tend to voice their attractions, so be careful.

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.

Patras is a lively coastal city with a big student population, tons of universities, and the perfect mix of sea and mountains nearby. The city is buzzing every day, with shops open until late and endless opportunities to meet new people (and party together!). It’s generally a safe place, but as in any city, sticking to well-lit central streets is always a good idea.

Patras is a medium safe place were u can actually find people to stick with. There are some bars that u would feel safer than other bars. People are most of the times kind and open. Students population is big, and so are the things happening/organised by them.
