In the neighborhoods of Agios Vlasios and Agios Georgios
The route is about 1 km long, lasts about 60 minutes and is of moderate difficulty. In it, the visitor will discover the influence of the Greek Orthodox community on the urban fabric of old Xanthi.

Focusing on the two Orthodox churches of Agios Vlasios and Agios Georgios, two homonymous districts were developed, with buildings of rich tobacco merchants, who benefited the two churches respectively.

These neighborhoods were inhabited by members of the rising class of tobacco merchants, who built large mansions such as those of Michaloglou and Karabetsis. The development of these neighborhoods around religious and at the same time social centers, in a multicultural context, led to the diverse urban landscape that the visitor will encounter, starting from the Mansion of Hamdi Bey and highlighting various points around G. Ladas or Antikas Square.
