The prefecture of Evros is where east meets west, a mixing pot of Greek and Turkish cultures. Each of the civilisations who have settled in this land have left their mark and the result is a cultural fusion where Turkish, Byzantine, Neo Classical and modern architecture co-exist.There is a notable Byzantine cathedral in the village of Feres.

Alexandroupoli is the charming principal seaside town of the prefecture and is known for its sandy beaches and seafront tavernas.

Nature lovers may be drawn to the Evros delta where the water slips lazily down to the sea, collecting in tranquil salt lagoons, visited by pelicans, as it goes.
