The route is about 1 km long, lasts about 50 minutes and is of moderate difficulty. It gives the visitor the opportunity to explore the so-called Kavaki, a picturesque district at the southeastern end of old Xanthi, located in the immediate vicinity of the river Kosynthos.

The district was named after a poplar tree (kavaki) that is said to have existed in the courtyard of the church of Pammegistoi Taxiarchs, a three-aisled basilica inextricably linked to the area. Starting from the homonymous square, the traveler will be able to see small and large traditional buildings, which coexist in narrow streets and compose the landscape of a neighborhood, which was created by tobacco workers and small professionals.

Alongside these buildings, however, other impressive ones coexist, such as the Mega Kin Cinema, the Karadimoglou Mansion and the Xenia Hotel, where the route ends. Thus, the visitor can explore the harmonious coexistence of traditional and modern architectural elements, which characterize the city of Xanthi and are perfectly expressed in the district of Kavaki.
