Rodopi

The name Rodopi refers to a fairly large mountain range in the North of Greece, along the border with Bulgaria.

Rodopi consists of many summits of low altitude. The highest altitude is 1953 meters.

River Nestos (see picture) gives life to the whole area. It is the southest place in the Balkans where we can see trees such as Picea Abies and Betula Pendula. This means that the winter in Rodopi is harsh. Temperatures of -15 degrees Celcius are common.

Rodopi is a refuge of wild life. Human presence is negligible.
