Hotels in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Greece

Eastern Macedonia and Thrace is a region in northeastern Greece, where the climate shifts from Mediterranean along the coast to continental inland. Summer temperatures hit the mid-80s °F (around 30 °C), perfect for windsurfing or kitesurfing on the shallow waters of the Nestos River Delta, while winter lows drop to the mid-40s °F (around 7 °C) for hiking the ancient stone-built paths of the Rhodope Mountains. It's famous for tobacco production and the UNESCO-listed Philippi archaeological site-a Roman city where you can still see the forum and theater where Apostle Paul preached. In spring, the valleys of Drama burst with wildflowers, and fall brings harvests of local wines from the hills near Kavala's waterfront castle.
