A town of 70,000 inhabitants, with a large student population.

Komotini, the prefectural capital, is built in a lush area and has a strong Anatolian atmosphere. Situated along the via Egnatia, it was founded in the early Christian era and traces of the Byzantine fortress walls can still be seen at the entrance to the modern city.

Among the sights worth seeing here are the Archaeological Museum with finds from Abdera, Maroneia, Mesembria and Dikaia, the Folk Art Museum and the Byzantine Church of the Virgin with its carved iconostasis.
