The counties of Drama and Kavala border Xanthi on the west, Bulgaria on the north, Rothopi on the east and the Aegean sea lies to the south.
The history of this county is interesting, as is the presence of a large muslim population that coexists peacefully with the Greek element of the population.
Nature lovers will appreciate the Rothopi mountain range and the deserted villages and stone paths that lie therein, as well as arched bridges, water pumps and whatever else the roots and earth of the thick forests hasn't covered up.
One can visit Pokamohoria, which are villages dotted all over the Ehinou valley. These villages are examples of a unique cultural and architectural style which can be found nowhere else in Greece.
The natural landscape in this county is a paradise with its rare species of flowers, birds and a wonderfully balanced ecosystem.
This county also offers spectacular beaches and important historical monuments.
