Alexandroupolis, Port city in northeastern Greece
Alexandroupolis extends along the Aegean Sea coast, featuring a prominent lighthouse and a waterfront promenade lined with restaurants and markets.
The settlement transformed from a small fishing village called Dedeagac in 1875 into a major maritime center, receiving its current name in 1920.
The Ethnological Museum of Thrace displays regional artifacts, traditional clothing, and musical instruments that represent northeastern Greek heritage.
The city connects to Athens through Dimokritos International Airport and provides daily ferry services to numerous Aegean islands.
The thermal springs of Traianoupoli, located near the city, contain mineral-rich waters used for therapeutic treatments since Roman times.
