Avdira and Porto Lagos are located near the sea, but Stavroupoli is located in the mountainous area of Xanthi. If you love nature and like extreme sports in general, Stavroupoli is the ideal location for these types of activities, as it is the entrance for the stena (passage) of the River Nestos. Kayaking, safari, trekking and rafting are only a few of the activities you can choose from. However, if you are not interested in these types of activities you can just admire architectural design of Stavroupoli, which portrays the past affluence of the area, and wander through its cobblestone streets.
