Located at the foot of the Rhodope Mountains in northeastern Greece, Xanthi is a city where cultures, histories, and traditions blend harmoniously. Often referred to as “The City of a Thousand Colors,” it charms visitors with its vibrant character and multicultural past.

The Old Town is the heart of Xanthi — one of the largest traditional settlements in Greece, known for its preserved architecture, elegant mansions, and timeless atmosphere. Its narrow streets, neoclassical facades, and artistic corners invite you to wander and discover hidden beauty at every turn.

Throughout the year, the city hosts important cultural events, such as the Old Town Festival in early September and the famous Xanthi Carnival, one of the most well-known in Greece and the Balkans. Music, food, art, and local celebrations fill the streets, giving visitors a true taste of the city’s spirit.

The Municipal Art Gallery, the Tobacco Museum, and the Folklore & Historical Museum offer deeper insight into Xanthi’s heritage. And no visit is complete without experiencing the lively Saturday Bazaar — a colorful tradition that reflects the city’s multicultural soul.
