Evros Regional Unit, Administrative division in northeastern Greece
The Evros Regional Unit spans 4,242 square kilometers along the Turkish border, encompassing the Evros River valley and Rhodope Mountains in the west.
The territory joined Greece in 1920 through the Treaty of Neuilly-sur-Seine, transforming from a prefecture into a regional unit during the 2011 Kallikratis reform.
The regional unit features a mixture of Greek, Turkish, and Bulgarian influences visible in local festivals, traditional music performances, and regional cooking methods.
The A2 motorway and railway system connect the regional capital Alexandroupolis to Thessaloniki and Bulgaria, facilitating transportation across the territory.
The Evros Delta National Park contains extensive wetlands where the Evros River meets the Aegean Sea, creating habitat for numerous bird species.
