About Komotini

Komotini (Greek: Κομοτηνή) is a city in the region of East Macedonia and Thrace, northeastern Greece. It is the capital of the Rhodope. The city is home to the Democritus University of Thrace, founded in 1973. Built at the northern part of the plain bearing the same name, Komotini is one of the main administrative, financial, and cultural centers of northeastern Greece, and also a major agricultural and breeding center of the area. It is a significant transport interchange, located 795 km NE of Athens and 281 km NE of Thessaloniki. Komotini is home to a sizeable Turkish speaking Muslim minority. The presence of the Democritus University makes Komotini the home of thousands of Greek and international students and this, combined with an eclectic mix of Western and Oriental elements in the city's daily life, have made it an increasingly attractive tourist destination.
