The Map of the Northern Regions - Prefecture of Drama

The Remarkable City of Drama

The Prefecture of Drama lies in the north-eastern part of the Region of Eastern Macedonia Thrace. Its northern borders are part of the national border with Bulgaria while to the east lies the Prefecture of Xanthi, to the south the Prefecture of Kavala and to the west the Prefecture of Serres.

In administrative terms it is part of the East Macedonia - Thrace Region and is divided into eight municipalities, those of Drama, Nevrokopi, Prosotsani, Nikiforos, Paranesti, Doxato, Kalambakio and Sitagri and one community, Sideronero. With the river Nestos flowing through it, it is surrounded by mountains with Rhodopi to the north, Menikio and Orvilos to the west, Pangeo to the south and the Lekani mountains to the east.

In terms of natural environment, ecological interest and cultural routes it can be characterized as a truly remarkable prefecture.

Saint Barbara springs

The springs in the centre of the city

The city of Drama with around 40,000 residents is one of the most remarkable tourist cities of northern Greece. The St. Varvara springs surrounded by parks and leisure areas as well as the water mills, shopping centers, Byzantine monuments, mansions and imposing complexes of tobacco warehouses, examples of the golden age of tobacco once experienced by the city, and the archaeological and ecclesiastical museums are just some of the interesting sights to see. The possibilities on offer for all forms of entertainment and relaxation in the city are of equal importance.

Informative tips on this lovely but little-known area! (Little-known to me, at least.) It must be quite a "Drama" to walk through the cave of the nymphs and the Forest of Elatia.
