Searching for your next adventure-filled travel destination? Look no further… Alexandroupolis is the place.

For seaside vacations away from the crowds, Alexandroupolis is your ideal getaway.

With mountains of outstanding natural beauty, plenty of amazing beaches, fascinating history, villages with a mix of ethnic cultures combined with orthodox churches and mosques and modest historical sites, you can discover your next paradise for enjoying a book on the beach, free from the high costs and crowds of tourists typically found on islands.

Don’t miss checking out the famous lighthouse built in 1850, the tallest one in Greece. It’s a popular spot where young people meet and an area where locals gather and stroll around every summer, enjoying the numerous cafeterias and restaurants.

Until the late 19th century, Alexandroupolis was known as a fishing village, and it still retains that charm! You can enjoy some of the finest fresh fish there.

If you are a museum buff you should check the museums of the city. The National Museum of Thrace, along with the Historical, Archaeological, and Folklore museums, are not to be missed.

The Delta of the Evros River (Maritza), spanning 150 square kilometers and shared by Turkey and Greece, is a must-see destination for nature enthusiasts. It boasts a diverse array of wildlife, including flamingos, pelicans, warty newts, yellow-bellied toads, fire salamanders, wild geese, and an abundance of sea life unparalleled by any other river globally. For guided tours, either by boat or on foot, consider visiting “The Information Center of Evros Delta.”

For additional sightseeing, should you decide to extend your stay, consider visiting the ancient city and theatre of Maronia, Avantas Castle (note that it is an unorganized site and may be challenging to locate), and the archaeological site of Mesimvria.
