Details / Alexandroupoli
![]() |
Although dismissed by some as mainly a military base, Alexandroupoli, at the eastern end of the coast of Thrace, is actually a vey pleasant coastal resort, with a long promenade and a long stretch of sandy beaches.
Beyond the promenade is the old part of the town, a warren of narrow streets with a delightful mix of workshops, junk shops, food stores, souvenir shops, bars, and several good restaurants and cafes.
The town’s most notable sight is a lighthouse which was built in 1880, and its illumination at night adds to the atmosphere. Alexandroupoli is a port as well, with ferries to the northeast Aegean islands and as far south as Rhodes and Kos in the Dodecanese.
