This is the harbor of Alexandroupolis a major commercial port. It consists of the outer port and a smaller inner harbor. It best to go into the inner harbor which has been converted into a "marina." Most berths, however, are used by local yachts. The thing to do is to inquire about a temporarily vacated birth.

If there is no room in the inner harbor the ''Limenarchio'' (Coast Guard) should be contacted on VHF channel 12. They will direct you to place along the tall, and rough, quay where you will go side-to. The problem with this arrangement, other than its most unattractive location, is the swell from the wake of ships or, in the case of strong winds, the fetch over the large outer harbor.

This is by far the most important point of interest.

The area, being along the troubled Greek-Turkish border, is restricted. One can only visit it by previous arrangement and accompanied by a designated guide. The municipal government of Feres (about 30 km from Alexandroupolis) runs a guide service which also provides a flat boat for the visit.

There is hide from which one can observe the raptors feeding. They do supplement there diet by an occasional carcass of a goat. There is a visitor's center in Dadia form where one can take s minibus to the hide, about 3 km up a steep hill. Best viewing times are early in the morning and at dusk. Unfortunately the center does not open until 8:30 AM. Do take your binoculars with you and telephoto lenses. Also, in the center of the town there is nest of storks well worth observing. About 7 km from Dadia town at Katzatrides in a heavily wooded area a women's cooperative runs a simple restaurant the ''Gerakina'' which serves cheese-pies (''pitas'') and other local specialties.

Port of Entry

This is the harbor of Alexandroupolis a major commercial port. It consists of the outer port and a smaller inner harbor. It best to go into the inner harbor which has been converted into a "marina." Most berths, however, are used by local yachts. The thing to do is to inquire about a temporarily vacated birth.

The "marina" has permanent moorings and depths 2-4 m you can go either stern or bow-to. It is very secure.

If there is no room in the inner harbor the Limenarchio (Coast Guard) should be contacted on VHF channel 12. They will direct you to place along the tall, and rough, quay where you will go side-to. The problem with this arrangement, other than its most unattractive location, is the swell from the wake of ships or, in the case of strong winds, the fetch over the large outer harbor.
