This route is about 1 km, about 50 minutes and of moderate difficulty. The visitor will have the opportunity to visit the 5 large churches of Old Xanthi, landmarks of Christian worship and religious tradition.

The churches were built after the catastrophic earthquake of 1829, probably on the foundations of earlier Byzantine churches, always according to the standards set by the Ottoman Empire (small size and low height, similar to that of the adjacent houses).

Architecturally they belong to the type of simple basilicas and have gabled wooden roofs. They were built by groups of Epirotes, Western Macedonians and Thracian craftsmen. Of interest are the stone reliefs on their facades and the stone slabs with the year of erection and the cross.
