Papikio, Archaeological site and mountain peak in Iasmos Municipality, Greece.

Papikio is a mountain peak in the Komotini range, rising to 1510 meters above sea level within Iasmos Municipality. The slopes display natural rock formations and varied plant growth, with scattered remains of structures visible across the site.

During the Byzantine period, especially in the 11th and 12th centuries, Papikio was an important monastic centre of Thrace. Christian ascetics and monks lived on the mountain, and Byzantine monastery ruins can still be found there.

Papikio is known in Bulgarian as Orlitsa and in Turkish as Kartal Dağı, both meaning "little eagle" and "eagle mountain". Byzantine monks lived on the mountain in the 11th and 12th centuries, and their monastery ruins remain visible today.

Access to the site follows marked trails starting from Iasmos town, where local contacts can provide directions. Wear sturdy footwear and bring water, as the terrain is steep and exposed to sun in many areas.

Papikio is the highest point of the Eastern Rhodopes and of the Komotini Ridge shared by Bulgaria and Greece. Bulgaria's southernmost point, Veykata at 1463 m, lies a few kilometres north of the summit. In Bulgarian the mountain is called Orlitsa, in Turkish Kartal Dağı.
