Xanthi

Built around the Kosynthos River beneath the Rhodope Mountains, Xanthi grew into an important urban centre of Greek Thrace. Its Old Town preserves lanes lined with late Ottoman houses and former tobacco merchants’ residences, recalling the trade that brought prosperity in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Tobacco warehouses remain a notable part of the city’s architectural heritage, while the annual Xanthi Carnival fills the streets with parades and music in the days before Lent. South of town, the Thracian plain extends toward the Aegean, while the Rhodope foothills rise to the north.
