With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Xanthi, 35 miles away, has to offer. Macedonian Tomb of Stavroupolis should be toward the top of your list here. Gyftokastro Mountain and Livaditis Waterfall are also not to be missed. The locals will also likely point you toward Mount Athos, 50 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Moni Xenofondos. (But we’re also big fans of Moni Stavronikita and Moni Dohiariou.)
