Thraki (Thrace)
You can find Thraki on the northeastern corner of Greece. Place where East meets West in harmony.
Special untouched place with very rich history Thracians founded Eleusis in Attica and the mythical musicians Orpehus and Mausaios were from Thrace.
History
In ancient times, Thrace stretched from Mt. Olympus in the south to the Danube in the north, and among its most famous cities was Abdera, birthplace of Democritos.
A large section of Thrace was ceded to Bulgaria at the beginning of this century, while Turkey took another part after the First World War, while Greece was left with the Xanthi, Momotini and Evros regions, the river Evros acting as a border to the East.
Inhabitants
Thrace is largely agricultural, with around 350 000 inhabitants, of both Greek and Musim lrigin. It is the most north-easterly part of the Greek state.
