Alexandroupoli, the capital of the district of Evros, is a seaside town known for its fine sandy beaches. A pretty town with well laid-out streets and neo-classical buildings. To the northeast of
Alexandroupoli is Feres with its especially important Byzantine cathedral of Theotokos tis Kosmosotiras. Along the Greco-Turkish border, to the north, is Soufli, famous for its silk production and its silks, and even further north are Didimotiho and Orestiada.
The first is a splendid Byzantine city
and the second is a small town built in a fertile area.Roads pass through planted fields, flanked by wooded mountains and the deep blue sea. Other roads pass through cities, villages, and landscapes possessing a rare Greek beauty. The same roads lead the visitor through nature, history, and tradition to the eastern-most point of Greece, wonderful Thrace.
