Alexandroupolis Railway Station

The original station opened in 1874, a year after the Chemins de fer Orientaux completed the line connecting the city — then the Ottoman port of Dedeagach — to Edirne and on toward Istanbul and Vienna. It predates the Greek city's current name by close to half a century.

The city grew up around two separate stations before they were combined into the current building in the 1950s, now sitting in the centre and serving as the junction for services toward Thessaloniki and Ormenio.

Not a destination in its own right, but a genuine piece of the city's Ottoman-to-Greek transition — worth a glance if you're walking the centre, and a practical stop if you're using it to reach Pythio or the wider Evros rail line.
