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.
