Hikes in Thrace

Thrace is still unknown to most hikers: the Rhodope range with its dense border forests, the Nestos gorge with a trail above the river's meander, the Pomak villages of Xanthi, the Dadia forest in Evros and Mount Ismaros above the sea at Maroneia. EOS Xanthi heads out every Sunday and also runs midweek walks.
