One Perfect Day in Alexandroupolis

If you only have one day in the city, this is the order that works: start at the lighthouse before the day gets hot, walk the harbour while the morning light is still good for photos, duck into a museum through the midday heat, then finish back on the seafront as the light turns gold again for dinner.

It's an entirely walkable day — nothing on this route is more than 15 minutes on foot from the last stop — which makes it a good fit whether you're arriving by car, train, or ferry with no rental car of your own.
