The capital of the Prefecture of Komotini is the city of Komotini. The everyday coexistence of Christians and Muslims, a fact that could be an ideal model of harmonious co-existence of the two cultures, provides a special and unique colour at the region and an intense character of multicultural environment. At Komotini coexists the deep heritage of a mixed tradition with the western way of life.
       A visit to the city's Archaeological and Folk Museum will offer a unique opportunity to discover the rich tradition of the region of Thrace.
       The beautiful and recently renovated city square offers multiple possibilities for a simple walk and a coffee of excellent aroma and taste.  The famous sujuk-lokum is the local sweet.
       In the restaurants and the taverns of the area, apart from a great variety of fresh fish, seafood, local meats grilled traditionally or cooked with vegetables, you can enjoy the Thracian version of mousaka, sujuk, sarmas, kebab, sausages and the famous kavourmas and babo. Taste the famous Ismarian wine, the other local wines but also the local tsipouro and ouzo. Komotini has been designated Gastronomical Capital of the Balkans by the Ministers of Tourism with lots of good reasons.
       Komitini will conquer your heart and will definitely form a very pleasant memory.It is a place you will always return to.
