inhabitants it is the largest city in Thrace. In the mid-19th century, fishermen from Maronia,
Makri and Enos, erected a small settlement, the Dede Agats. In 1880 Russian officers design
the city’s waterfront as part of an outstanding urban plan. The city’s symbol, the lighthouse,
was constructed in 1880. The port of Alexandroupolis with significant commercial traffic, has
developed through the years, consolidating a long relationship of its inhabitants with the
Aegean sea.Ever since, despite the adverse conditions faced by the city, it continues to
