Valleys and mountains. Alpine refuges and ski resorts. Glorious forests. Flocks of birds. Fertile soil, endless tobacco plantations. Caves with enormous multicoloured stalactites. Rivers that burble gently. Lyrical waters. Magical scenery. Hospitable people with warm smiles.
The prefectural capital bears the same name, Drama. It lies at the foot of Mt. Falakro, which the locals call “the mountain of the flowers”.
This mountain of remarkable beauty boasts ski slopes for winter sports enthusiasts and four well-equipped refuges for climbers.
The town, drenched in greenery and flowers thanks to its abundant water, looms above the valley filled with tobacco fields as far as the eye can see.


Why not take a hike through the wonderful forest of Elatia (70 km. north of Drama), where amongst the pines, oaks and willows, the red fir grows, a very rare tree in this country whose height often reaches 50 meters.
Southeast of Drama (10km.) is the pretty market town of Doxato, with facilities for tourists and a reputation for fun and high spirits.
The Bounar-Bassi springs, a corner of Paradise with running streams and enormous trees, are just 3 kilometers away at the foot of Kouslari, a low mountain.
