Send Flowers to Xanthi, Greece

Xanthi is one of the most atmospheric towns in Thrace, in the north-east of Greece. Its old town climbs a hillside in cobbled lanes lined with the mansions of tobacco merchants, painted in ochre, blue and deep red. Below, the modern town gathers around the central square with its clock tower, and every Saturday a huge open-air bazaar draws people from the whole region.

The town is known for its mix of Christian and Muslim communities and for two big events: the carnival before Lent, among the best known in Greece, and the Old Town Festival in early autumn. The engineering school of Democritus University of Thrace keeps the cafes full of students.

You can send flowers to Xanthi from anywhere in the world. Order before midnight Greek time and a local florist delivers the next day, Monday to Saturday, taking care with the steps and narrow streets of the old quarter. A phone number for the recipient is required. Sundays and main public holidays are not delivery days.
