This district covers Nea Filothei, Ampelokipoi, Goudi, Kountouriotika, Erythros Stavros, Gyzi and Polygono. Most of the district — Goudi park, Gyzi, Nea Filothei, Polygono and Kountouriotika — is leafy and residential with no documented safety concerns. Ampelokipoi, however, has a real, recurring record of gun violence: a 2021 shooting near the Athens Police headquarters (GADA), an August 2023 shooting outside a lyceum that lightly injured a bystander, and the April 2026 shooting spree by an 89-year-old gunman, whose registered address (confirmed via Athens courthouse records) placed the incident within Ampelokipoi and which wounded four people. A separate incident involving an assault on a nurse at the Red Cross Hospital is a hospital-security matter rather than a street-crime pattern. Given Ampelokipoi's recurring documented gun violence set against an otherwise quiet district, both day and night are rated yellow. Sources checked: Ethnos; To Vima; Euronews; Al Jazeera; Europost.

Frequently asked questions
Is 7th Municipal District (Ampelokipoi, Goudi, Gyzi) safe?
Wandroz currently rates 7th Municipal District (Ampelokipoi, Goudi, Gyzi) in Athens as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Athens, both by day and after dark. This comes from a structured local-source assessment: an area-level review of credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — consolidated across sources rather than taken from a single report. Athens publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.

At night, 7th Municipal District (Ampelokipoi, Goudi, Gyzi) is rated as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Athens. If you're unsure, it's worth checking recent local reviews for your specific street or block, since a neighbourhood-wide rating can't capture block-by-block variation.
