Thrace, in the topholiday destination of EasternMacedonia and Thrace, is a part of the world that’s well known forits beaches, coastal plains and lush green forests.

It’s an area of such outstanding natural beautythat simply sticking to Thrace, or any othersingle town or city in the area, regardless of its popularity, isn’trecommended. By doing that, you won’t even scratch the surface of the thebroader natural and cultural makeup of a region, which is well worth exploring.Make sure to set aside enough time to explore Eastern Macedonia and Thrace'sother sights and attractions, such as Kato Nevrokopi, just 19 miles (31kilometers) to the south and Livadero, which sits 20 miles (32 kilometres) tothe southwest.

If you visit Thrace then a trip to see Kavalais a must. Around 25 miles (40 kilometres) to the east of the city, this iswhere you'll find great cultural attractions like the Municipal Museum,Philippi Archaeological Museum, Krinides Mud Baths, the Philippi ArchaeologicalSite, Baptistery of St. Lydia and Ancient Theatre of Philippi, which are allwell worth the time to explore. All this exists amongst the moreretail-oriented attractions of the area, for those shopaholics amongst you.

If you fancy a day indoors away from the sun, headto Eastern Macedonia and Thrace's theatres andhistory museums. Why not soak up some of the region's culture and pick up anunusual souvenir for friend and family back home? Get familiar with the localway of life and take the time to visit the traditional villages while you arehere.

Naturally, we do recommend that you get outside.After all, the area is famous for its sun, sea and sand holidays. It’s a greatarea for water sports, including swimming and canoeing, which are just two waysthe locals like to cool off here. In this fast-paced world, the perfect holidayoften means finding good places to just sit back and relax. When you want totake your mind off work, do as the locals do and try a spot of bird watching.

Refresh yourself with an idyllic holiday in Thrace.

"Great location with nicely maintained grounds and amenities. The breakfast buffet was plentiful but pretty basic. All that said, the hotel is in need to renovation - it’s old and tired looking.

"This was one of the worst accommodation experiences I have ever had, and the fact this property is marketed as “premium” is frankly laughable. Do not be fooled by the photos. They hide a reality of broken facilities, missing essentials, and a management team that disappears the moment you raise a ..."
