Ξάνθη η πόλη της Καρδιάς μας .. Enjoy the City of Xanthi - Greece
Located in Thrace, Xanthi is a city with a long history. Glorious present and even better future, the capital of the prefecture of Xanthi.
It can be reached by car from all over Greece. It is located 725 kilometres from Athens and 224 kilometres away from the city of Thessaloniki
The city features a vast array of restaurants, taverns, ouzeri, that serve local delicacies. Special mention must be granted to the seafood taverns, both in the city and those scattered around the town’s outskirts, near the sea.
Also, Xanthi is famous throughout Greece for its carnival. Every year, and for fifteen consecutive days during the period of Mardi Gras, a grand carnival is organised with references to both local customs and traditions and modern day life.
In the beginning it was a small village, having experienced all the tumultuous eras of the Thracian history.
References to the city of Xanthi, or Xanthia, date back to ancient times when its name was Topara. From the 2nd centuryBC and during all the Roman period and early Byzantine the city became an important commercial center thanks to the existence of the Egnatia Road which passed by this city.
In 879 the name of Xantheia or Xanthi is first recorded, so thence the city is known with that name.
During Ottomans times; Xanthi remained as one of the major Greek and Christian centres in Thrace along with Adrianoupolis and Philipoupolis ans its foreign population never surpassed the 5%.
By 1715 Xanthi became renowned for its tobacco, Many foreign sightseers travelled throughout the region and described the life and struggles of the locals. Tobacco commerce throughout Europe led Xanthi into a course of prosperity. During this period of development during the 18th and 19th century the Greek element propelled upwards in the local economic and social life. Greek store-owners built the mansions that are still intact and the Greek community re-built schools and churches. At the heart of the city, trade, administrative and industrial projects develop steadily.
Though during the Greek revolution in 1821, Xanthi played an important role in the independentist struggle leading that to an economic slow down; that soon in the 1830's was recovered.
During the 19th century there were innumerable movements towards the unification of Thrace with the independent Greek state, something that was achieved in 1913 for a short period and finally in 1919.
The need to develop a programme for the protection, restoration and upgrading of the Old Town in the near future arose from the area’s cultural and historic significance, as well as from the troublesome living conditions, such as the locals’ inability to preserve and maintain the remaining houses and by the area’s growing tourism. The programme’s targets should be focused on five basic axes , such as the maintenance of the overall housing project’s character, through the creation of public benefit networks, the preservation of the natural habitat and the eradication of the negative elements that have altered the local community’s character, the improvement of the living conditions and the creation of a complete documentation of the remaining restored buildings.
In creating the aforementioned targets, the complete restoration study was funded by the First Community Support Programme and was completed in 1993.Its overall application was submitted to and was funded in part by the Second Community Support Programme in the framework of various programs, such as URBAN II, INTERREG II, . Concurrently, a series of independent support programs are taking place, concerning the continuing education of Technicians, Restorators, and Labourers, which are also funded by the European Union ( EKT, PACTE, etc.)
The significance of this effort and its results were visible to all. In October of 1996, the municipality was awarded at Lisbon, Portugal with a plaque for its strategy and projects in the framework of Europe’s Sustainable Cities and Towns Campaign.
Most of its residential architecture dates back from the golden commercial age of 18th and 19th centuries.
Greece, Xanthi carnival is amazing fun. #shorts #trending #greece
Today, Xanthi has a modern city identity and accepts a large amount of domestic and foreign visitors every year with its rich history, nature and traditions. The carnival and the old town festival (γιορτές παλιάς πόλης) are among the activities worth seeing every year. In addition, the city market, which is organized every Saturday, can be visited.
An aromatic blend of cultures and landscapes, with a colourful carnival and a host of holiday possibilities await you in Thrace
It’s in the aromas from Xanthi’s chimneys and garlic plantations and in the smell of the sea and the cooling breeze of the Rodopi mountain range. It’s also the mix of cultures, races and religions that come together here, creating a unique combination of people. And it’s in the colourful carnival held at the beginning of Lent and in the open-air markets. There’s a special ambience in Xanthi, in northeastern Greece, that you can’t quite put your finger on. But you’ll feel it as soon as you arrive.
What to do in Xanthi
The stately Old Town
There’s a glamour and elegance to Xanthi’s Old Town. In the cobblestone streets and grand mansions of the former tobacco merchants, you’ll find vestiges of a once glorious era. The stately, multi-coloured homes have painted walls, wooden windows and blossom-filled gardens. Inside, the ones that have been restored are decorated with tasteful, handmade furniture, stained glass windows and ornately carved doors. Worth a visit are the Town Hall, built in 1830, the Municipal Gallery on Orpheus Street and the Folklore Museum of Xanthi
Lake Vistonida and Porto Lagos
Nature lovers will find their paradise here. Along the nearby Nestos River, you’ll find incredible scenery of mountain and sea. And as the river flows into Lake Vistonida and Porto Lagos, it merges with the salty sea and creates, between the reeds, a refuge for rare birds, fish and other animals. Pure and peaceful, the scenery invites you into its serene embrace.
At Pomakohoria, a cluster of villages
‘Is this even Greece?’ you’ll wonder. At Pomakohoria – a cluster of interesting little villages – the unspoilt landscape has not been altered by surrounding influences, and nor have the people. Living in the foothills of the Rhodopi mountain range, they hold on strong to their cultural identity.
A colourful carnival
Every year, Xanthi hosts the most colourful carnival in northern Greece. All of the city’s communities come together to celebrate and recreate old customs. Although the carnival has evolved over the years, the combination of modern additions, tradition and folklore is what makes it so special.
Hidden gems of Xanthi
The Nestos River
The Nestos River cuts across the Rodopi Mountains, snaking in and out of the mountain range and creating the famous Nestos Straits. The meandering has resulted in unique geological landscape.
The birthplace of Democritus
The first Greeks who settled in the ancient city of Abdera were from the Ionian city of Teo. The Klazomenes, from Asia Minor, came later in 654 BC and the famous pre-Socratic philosopher Democritus was born here in around 460 BC. Along with one of the most important archaeological sites in northern Greece, the marvellous small museum will delight you.
The Xanthi bazaar
With a long history, broken only by the centuries of Ottoman rule, the Xanthi bazaar is still a mainstay of residents of the city and an attraction for visitors from all around Greece and abroad. Famed for the diversity of merchandise on display, it is a multicultural affair, full of colour, raucous sounds, rousing sights and tantalising aromas.

Hidden gems of Xanthi
The Nestos River
The Nestos River cuts across the Rodopi Mountains, snaking in and out of the mountain range and creating the famous Nestos Straits. The meandering has resulted in unique geological landscape.
The birthplace of Democritus
The first Greeks who settled in the ancient city of Abdera were from the Ionian city of Teo. The Klazomenes, from Asia Minor, came later in 654 BC and the famous pre-Socratic philosopher Democritus was born here in around 460 BC. Along with one of the most important archaeological sites in northern Greece, the marvellous small museum will delight you.
The Xanthi bazaar
With a long history, broken only by the centuries of Ottoman rule, the Xanthi bazaar is still a mainstay of residents of the city and an attraction for visitors from all around Greece and abroad. Famed for the diversity of merchandise on display, it is a multicultural affair, full of colour, raucous sounds, rousing sights and tantalising aromas.

Greece, Xanthi crazy dance nights in february. #shorts #trending #greece
Today, Xanthi has a modern city identity and accepts a large amount of domestic and foreign visitors every year with its rich history, nature and traditions. The carnival and the old town festival (γιορτές παλιάς πόλης) are among the activities worth seeing every year. In addition, the city market, which is organized every Saturday, can be visited.
An aromatic blend of cultures and landscapes, with a colourful carnival and a host of holiday possibilities await you in Thrace
It’s in the aromas from Xanthi’s chimneys and garlic plantations and in the smell of the sea and the cooling breeze of the Rodopi mountain range. It’s also the mix of cultures, races and religions that come together here, creating a unique combination of people. And it’s in the colourful carnival held at the beginning of Lent and in the open-air markets. There’s a special ambience in Xanthi, in northeastern Greece, that you can’t quite put your finger on. But you’ll feel it as soon as you arrive.
What to do in Xanthi
The stately Old Town
There’s a glamour and elegance to Xanthi’s Old Town. In the cobblestone streets and grand mansions of the former tobacco merchants, you’ll find vestiges of a once glorious era. The stately, multi-coloured homes have painted walls, wooden windows and blossom-filled gardens. Inside, the ones that have been restored are decorated with tasteful, handmade furniture, stained glass windows and ornately carved doors. Worth a visit are the Town Hall, built in 1830, the Municipal Gallery on Orpheus Street and the Folklore Museum of Xanthi
Lake Vistonida and Porto Lagos
Nature lovers will find their paradise here. Along the nearby Nestos River, you’ll find incredible scenery of mountain and sea. And as the river flows into Lake Vistonida and Porto Lagos, it merges with the salty sea and creates, between the reeds, a refuge for rare birds, fish and other animals. Pure and peaceful, the scenery invites you into its serene embrace.
At Pomakohoria, a cluster of villages
‘Is this even Greece?’ you’ll wonder. At Pomakohoria – a cluster of interesting little villages – the unspoilt landscape has not been altered by surrounding influences, and nor have the people. Living in the foothills of the Rhodopi mountain range, they hold on strong to their cultural identity.

Ξάνθη-Ποταμός Κόσυνθος

ΞΑΝΘΗ .....Η Πόλη με τα χίλια χρώματα και αρώματα...
Η άνθηση της πόλης επήλθε τον 18ο με 19ο αιώνα, οπότε και η πόλη έγινε γνωστή για τον καπνό της. ]Την αποκαλούσαν και μικρό Παρίσι, εξαιτίας του πλούτου που είχε εκείνη την εποχή. Την οικονομική άνθηση της πόλης σταμάτησαν η ελληνική επανάσταση, κατά την οποία πολλοί Ξάνθιοι συνελήφθησαν και φυλακίσθηκαν (μεταξύ των οποίων και ο τότε μητροπολίτης Σεραφείμ) και δυο αλλεπάλληλοι σεισμοί το 1829 (Μάρτιο και Απρίλιο) που ισοπέδωσαν την πόλη και τα χωριά της περιοχής. Η πρώτη φάση οικοδόμησης της σημερινής Παλιάς Πόλης, διατηρώντας μεγάλο μέρος του παλαιότερου πολεοδομικού ιστού, εκτιμάται ότι είναι μεταξύ 1830 - 1845 με οικοδόμους από την Δυτική Μακεδονία και την Ήπειρο. Μετά την καταστροφή της Γενισέας το 1870 ξεκινά η δεύτερη φάση οικοδόμησης της πόλης. Η πόλη έγινε διοικητικό κέντρο της περιοχής ενώ το 1891 ολοκληρώθηκε η σιδηροδρομική γραμμή Θεσσαλονίκης - Κωνσταντινούπολης. Την περίοδο 1870 – 1910 στην πόλη αναπτύχθηκε έντονη οικονομική δραστηριότητα και καταγράφεται οικονομική άνθηση
