Soufli combines the practical character of a small Thracian town with the refined legacy of silk-making, reflecting its position near the Evros River and the Greek–Turkish border. During the 19th century, mulberry cultivation and sericulture shaped local livelihoods, establishing Soufli as Greece’s leading silk centre. The town’s Silk Museum follows the demanding journey from silkworm cocoons to woven cloth and recalls a craft that remains central to its identity. Here, the Evros plain approaches the foothills of the Rhodope Mountains, lending Soufli a distinct borderland setting.
