A small church serving Alexandroupolis's Armenian community — one of the few Armenian churches on the Greek mainland.

Full description

Alexandroupolis has a small but long-standing Armenian community, and this church — known locally as Karabet — is its place of worship. Armenian churches are uncommon on the Greek mainland outside Athens and Thessaloniki, which makes this a genuinely distinctive stop for anyone interested in the region's layered communities.

It's a low-key site rather than a major sight — worth a look if you're passing through the centre, more than a dedicated trip on its own.
