GREECE'S BORDER WITH TURKEY: From Ormenio to Pythio, Soufli, Samothraki & Lemnos

Join me as I explore the landscapes, ruins, and forgotten stories that define where Greece meets Turkey, from the Evros River to the Aegean Sea. This journey follows Greece’s frontier with Turkey, a borderland where Europe meets the East. I begin at Ormenio (Ορμένιο / Turkish: Çirmen), the northernmost village of Greece (Ελλάδα), tracing the Evros River south through Pythio (Πύθιο / Turkish: Kuleliburgaz) and its medieval tower, a remnant of Byzantine and Ottoman power. In Didymoteicho (Διδυμότειχο / Dimetoka), I climb the ancient fortress where emperors once ruled and Ottoman minarets still mark the skyline. Farther along the frontier lies Soufli (Σουφλί / Sofulu), the silk town of Thrace, a border settlement built on trade, craftsmanship, and resilience. Then comes Feres (Φέρες / Ferecik), home to a remarkable Ottoman-era mosque that stands as a reminder of centuries of cultural overlap and shifting borders. From there, the road reaches Alexandroupoli (Αλεξανδρούπολη / Turkish: Dedeağaç), gateway to the Aegean, before I cross the sea to Samothraki (Σαμοθράκη / Semadirek), an island of waterfalls, pagan sanctuaries, and raw, untouched beauty. Finally, the journey ends on Lemnos (Λήμνος / Limni), at the fortress of Myrina (Μύρινα / Kastro), where the sun sets over the Aegean and the Turkish coast glows faintly on the horizon. ------------------------------------- Referenced videos: Previous video (Bulgaria's border with Turkey):    • Bulgaria's Last Frontier: Driving the Turk...   Alexandroupoli, Thasos, & More:    • Turkish Escape to Greece - Dedeağaç, İskeç...   Thessaloniki:    • Thessaloniki - What to See in Only Two Weeks   Vergina (where Alexander the Great was crowned):    • Vergina - Aigai's Undisturbed Tomb of Alex...   Samothraki:    • Two Weeks on Samothraki   More Thessaloniki:    • Thessaloniki (Part 2) - A More Relaxed Tour   Kavala:    • Kavala - Greece's "Little Istanbul"   Video where I introduced the Evros River AKA Maritsa:    • Bulgaria's Communist Planned City   Greece video playlist:    • Greece
