Thrace Location of the Balkan peninsula, located between the river Nestos to the west of Mount Haemus, to the north of the Black Sea to the east and south of Marmara the Bosporus, the Dardanelles Strait and the Thracian Sea. Located in the Balkan peninsula, the Greek Thrace is a geographical region of Greece's northern region. It borders Turkey to the east (the so-called Eastern Thrace), Bulgaria to the north and west by Greek Macedonia

  2. Thrace includes three prefectures and one island, Samothrace. Our town is situated in the Easternmost prefecture, Evros

  3. The forest of Dadia In the center of Evros prefecture, 14 km from the small city of Soufli, south-east of the Rhodope Mountains, lies the region of Dadia, a monument of the Greek countryside that is known for its pine forest. In this area live rarely raptors in Europe, as the Black-vulture, Sea-bearded vulture, Levant, Sparrowhawk, etc. The forest of Dadia is a live demonstration of the continuing struggle of nature to give life, despite all efforts of man to wipe everything natural. World renowned for its uniqueness, the forest of Dadia supported by WWF-Greece, the Global Fund for nature as well as programs of the European communities for the protection of Nature

  4. Financially, Evros is a rural area. We cultivate mainly cereals and tobacco, which is world renowned and is one of the greatest sources of wealth of Greece. It has remarkably good husbandry and exploitation of forest wealth.
