Alexandroupolis

Among the cities of Macedonia and Thrace, Alexandroupoli stands out for its landmark lighthouse on Greece’s northeastern Aegean coast. The city stretches beside the Thracian Sea, where a long seafront promenade connects cafés, the port and ferry services for the island of Samothrace. East of town, the Evros Delta forms one of Greece’s most important wetland areas near the border with Turkey. Modern Alexandroupoli developed around the railway in the 19th century and was renamed in 1920 in honour of King Alexander I. Its coastal setting and position at the meeting point of Greece, the Balkans and the eastern Mediterranean give it a distinctly Thracian character.
