A city of tradition and modernity, a city of relaxation and entertainment, a city of the sea and tourism. Its central location unites Europe and Asia, West and East, and thus its communication with the world and the rest of Greece is by all means of land, sea and air.

Alexandroupolis still retains a small part of the charm of the original fishing village. A real experience is the fish auction at the local fish market, where fishing boats arrive one after the other with their holds full.

However, it is also a particularly lively city, due to its commercial activities and the 3,500 university students. It is ideal for culinary delights and nightlife with a multitude of shops for all tastes, close to the coastal zone and the wider shopping center.

In addition to the coastal avenue, in Mitropoleos Square you can admire the buildings that surround it, as well as the impressive church of Agios Nikolaos. The first residents, sailors by profession, built the church to honor their patron saint. The church is flanked on one side by the old Boys' High School, which today operates as the Museum of Ecclesiastical Art, and on the other, by the old elementary school.
