Komotini, Regional capital in Thrace, Greece

Located at the foot of Rodopi mountain range, Komotini extends across a flat plain with an elevation of 45 meters above sea level.

Archaeological discoveries confirm continuous settlement in Komotini since the 2nd century AD, with Byzantine walls bearing inscriptions from Theodosian period still visible.

The central Plateia Irinis square functions as a meeting point where residents gather at cafes while the municipal theater presents performances throughout summer.

The city connects to major Greek destinations through its railway station, while two regional airports in Alexandroupoli and Kavala serve air travelers.

The Democritus University of Thrace, established in 1973, brings thousands of students to Komotini, making it an educational center in northeastern Greece.
