Xiropotamos

Few settlements in Macedonia and Thrace have a history as closely tied to farming on the Drama plain as Xiropotamos. The community lies northwest of Drama, where the broad lowland approaches the lower slopes of the Falakro Mountains. Its Greek name means “dry river”. Agriculture remains central to the local setting, while the wider Drama area has long been associated with tobacco production, an important chapter in the region’s modern economy. Xiropotamos represents the inland character of eastern Macedonia, far from Greece’s coastal resort belt.
