Xanthi, a city of 60 thousand #residents, is located in #Thrace, near the border with #Bulgaria, in northeastern Greece. Xanthi lies 200 km east of #Thessaloniki and only 53 km northeast of Kavala, through the #Egnatia highway, while it is served by the “Alexander the Great” international #airport near Kavala. Xanthi town boasts a multicultural character, reflecting its #Ottoman, #Byzantine, and #Greek #heritage.
It is said that its name derives from #Xanthe, one of the #Amazons - famous female #warriors - that ruled the region, according to #legend.
Amphitheatrically built on the foot of #Rhodope mountain chain, the city is divided by the #Kosynthos River, into the west part, where the old and the modern town are located, and the east part that boasts a rich natural #environment. Begin your journey in the heart of Xanthi, the Old Town or #Varos. It is known throughout Greece for its distinctive architecture, combining many Byzantine Greek #churches with #neoclassical #mansions of Greek merchants from the 18th and 19th centuries and Ottoman-Era #mosques. Vibrant colors, and cobbled streets create a charming atmosphere.
The distinctive clock #tower at the main square is the centre of Christmas #celebrations.
Explore the Archaeological #Museum to trace the region's history from prehistoric times to the #Roman period, while at the #Folk and History Museum is being depicted the daily life of Xanthi's residents.
Xanthi has a strong connection to the tobacco industry. Visit the Old Tobacco Warehouse District to witness the grandiose warehouses that once played a crucial role in the city's economic development.
If your visit aligns with February, experience the famous Xanthi #Carnival, one of the most vibrant and lively celebrations in Greece. The streets come alive with colorful costumes, parades, and traditional #music.
A short drive from Xanthi leads to the archaeological site of #Avdera. Discover ancient ruins, including a theater and sanctuaries, providing insights into the city's historical significance.
An excursion to #Nestos river #Delta, else known as #Porto #Lagos, is a fantastic experience. Wetlands and lagoons, virgin nature and beautiful #migratory #birds.
North of Xanthi lies the less explored part of Greece. The #Pomak villages host a native muslim population full of rich traditions, #Balkan colours and aromas. Open air hot tabs, #hamams and at the end of the road awaits you a wooden #tavern offering some of the most delicious dishes you have ever tasted!
Indulge in the rich flavors of Xanthi's #culinary scene. Sample local specialties such as #karioka (sweet dessert), #soutzouk #loukoum (Turkish delight), and the famous #tsoureki (sweet bread).
Visit Drama, a friendly #Macedonian town that during Christmas time hosts the village of Dreams. A fascinating Christmas #park for #children and adults.
And finally Kavala, with its castle and charming old town, the aqueduct and stunning coastal setting, is a destination that captivates every #traveler.
Xanthi, with its blend of cultural richness and contemporary vibrancy, promises a unique and memorable experience for every traveler. From the colorful streets of the Old Town to the lively celebrations of the Xanthi Carnival, the city offers a #kaleidoscope of experiences. Immerse yourself in the warm hospitality and multifaceted charm of Xanthi, where the past and present coexist harmoniously in the heart of northeastern Greece.
#Paradise on earth has a name and it is located in Greece.
