Mountain Biking on Xanthi’s Peri-Urban Trail Network
Xanthi is one of the few cities in Greece fortunate enough to be surrounded by such a beautiful and varied natural environment, with small but lovely mountain peaks so close to the city centre. In addition, the many old and new trails that start from the city offer the chance to enjoy activities in this environment without needing to travel by car.
