With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Xanthi, 35 miles away, has to offer. Macedonian Tomb of Stavroupolis, Gyftokastro Mountain and Livaditis Waterfall alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Situated 55 miles away, Mount Athos is another popular destination. If you visit, make sure you check out Moni Xenofondos, Moni Stavronikita and Moni Dohiariou.
