 AREA GUIDE TO THRACE - GREECE

Thrace is the last part of North Greece ending at Alexandroupolis on the south and Orestiada almost to the north.  This is the part connecting Europe with Asia and Aegean Sea with Black Sea.  Life shows its existence since 3000 BC here.  The name of this part according to the legend comes from "Thrace" the daughter of Oceanus, sister of Europe, Asia and Libya, or from the Greek word "trahia" which means a rough area because of the climate and the environment.  The area of Thrace consists of three prefectures, Evros on the east, Rodopi in the centre and Xanthi on the west.  Excavations at the area have brought up samples of life starting from the Palaeolithic Age near the rivers Evros and Ardas.  Today Thrace has plenty to offer.  The town of Xanthi, where the University of Thrace is based, the town of Komotini capital of the Rodopi prefecture built around a pre Byzantine fortress of the 4th century BC and Alexandroupolis the capital of Evros prefecture, from where one can easily visit the island of Samothraki and the Evros Delta make very interesting visits.  Lakes, lacy coasts, peninsulas and many branches of Evros River form a unique environment suitable for the survival of rare species of fauna and types of flora all over Europe.  Back...
