Soufli
The silk “capital” of Greece
Although the silk industry has diminished in modern times, the town keeps the tradition alive through workshops and small manufacturing units. Museums recount the history of the processing of this precious fabric, while modern silk products continue to be produced and sold in the town’s shops. In 2021, Soufli became the first Greek destination to be honoured with the Best Tourism Village distinction by the World Tourism Organisation, confirming its uniqueness.
At the same time, the wider region boasts magnificent nature, mountain villages of unique architecture, rural landscapes with ancient stone bridges, watermills and fountains, Ottoman tekkes (places of worship and practice for Sufi orders), and scattered post-Byzantine churches. All these form a special ensemble at the crossroads of East and West, complemented by the unique Thracian gastronomy: kavourmas (traditional cured meat), sausages, babo (local Thracian cold cut stuffed with cereals and meat), traditional pasta, local tsipouro, and wines from varieties such as Mavroudi.
Visit Soufli for its rich history, the natural beauty of the region, and the traditional hospitality of its inhabitants, and get to know an unknown and different frontier Greece.
