About Evros
Evros is the north-easternmost prefecture of Greece, following the river Evros along the borders with Turkey and Bulgaria down to the Aegean, a land of wetlands, forests and historic towns that remains far from the usual tourist routes. Its capital, Alexandroupoli, is a relaxed seaside city with a long waterfront promenade, a lighthouse that has become its symbol, fish tavernas and an airport; it is also the port for ferries to the island of Samothrace. East of the city, the Evros Delta is one of the most important wetlands in Europe, where boat trips through channels and reed beds reveal flamingos, pelicans, herons and birds of prey. Inland, the Dadia forest is a national park of oak and pine renowned for its raptors, especially the rare black vulture, which can be watched from a hide near a feeding station. Further north, Soufli was once a centre of silk production, and its silk museum and mansions recall that history, while Didymoteicho has a Byzantine castle and one of the largest Ottoman mosques in Europe. Near Alexandroupoli, the thermal springs of Traianoupolis have been used since Roman times, and the Byzantine church of Panagia Kosmosotira at Feres is a fine twelfth-century monument. Evros suits nature lovers, birdwatchers and road-trippers.

Getting to & around Evros
By air
Alexandroupoli Airport (Dimokritos), just outside the city, has flights from Athens and some from Thessaloniki. Kavala airport, with summer flights from Europe, is about two hours west, and Thessaloniki about three and a half hours via the Egnatia motorway.
By ferry
Alexandroupoli is the port for Samothrace, with ferries several times a day in summer, about two hours, and some ferries to Limnos and the North Aegean. Kavala and Keramoti, about two hours west, serve Thasos.
Getting around
Essential outside Alexandroupoli. Evros is a large, rural region, and highlights such as the Dadia forest, the Evros Delta wetlands, Soufli and Didymoteicho are far apart, with few buses. A car is the only practical way to explore.
