The route is about 1 km long, lasts about 50 minutes and is of low difficulty. This route will give visitors with artistic interests the opportunity to get a taste of European and Byzantine art, as expressed in buildings of old Xanthi in the 19th century.

Starting from the Church of Agios Vlasios and ending at the Stalios Kindergarten, you will visit indicative churches of old Xanthi with the wood carvings on the iconostasis, the portable icons, the miniature objects, representative samples of the post-Byzantine period. In the buildings of secular architecture you will admire the European style ceiling paintings and frescoes, of the so-called Belle Époque (1871-1914).

In the old churches you will notice the Byzantine portable icons, which bear strong western iconographic influences, mixed with traditional Byzantine standards and follow the theological conceptions after the 1453 conquest. In the residences you will see frescoes and ceiling paintings painted by Bavarian or German painters.

On this route it is worth observing the icons of the iconostasis and the marble relief candlestick in the Church of Agios Vlasios, the Crucifix in the Church of Agios Georgios, work of Fotis Kontoglou (1959) and the unique neoclassical statue in the courtyard of the same church, the rich ceiling paintings with decorative and floral motifs and the young Eros in Daniel's Mansion and the frescoes with the Bavarian landscapes in the Kougioumtzoglou Mansion.
