Xanthi Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Xanthi

The perhaps overly exciting history of Thrace, characterized by attacks by neighboring peoples, catastrophes, ethnic conflicts and civil wars, prevented a normal development of villages into cities. The city was conquered by the Ottomans in 1361. Unlike other parts of Greece that were affected by the population exchange between Turkey and Greece, Western Thrace was exempt from this agreement. Hence there is a higher proportion of Muslim population in this part of Greece.
