Why visit Xanthi?

Xanthi unfurls along the Kosynthos River in Western Thrace, where Ottoman-era mansions of the Old Town climb toward the Rhodope Mountains. Start your exploration at the municipal Clock Tower in Plateia Antika, weaving through narrow cobblestone lanes lined with neoclassical tobacco warehouses funded by the 19th-century trade boom. The town’s multi-ethnic heritage thrives in its culinary scene, shaped by Pomak, Pontic, and Turkish refugees.

Settle into a taverna in the central square to sample *pastourmadopita*—spiced beef pastourma encased in flaky phyllo pastry—alongside local Kavarma. Follow the aroma of roasting butter to Hatzis for their legendary syrup-drenched *karidopita* walnut cake. Cross the Kosynthos Gorge via the walking path to reach the Byzantine fortress of Livaditis, then return to browse the Saturday Bazaar on Orfeos Street, where nomadic vendors sell aromatic mountain tea harvested directly from the nearby peaks.
