Late Ottoman period in Old Xanthi
This route is about 1.3 km, lasting about 50 minutes and of low difficulty. In it, the visitor will have the opportunity to tour landmarks and buildings of Xanthi, connected with the Muslim community of the city and mainly the Ottoman ruling class that dominated until the accession of Thrace to the Greek state in 1920.

From traditional buildings (Mansion of Muzafer Bey) to urban houses (Hilmi Pasha mansion) and of course mosques (Ahrian Mosque, Sunne Mosque), members of the Muslim community marked with their presence the urban fabric of the Old Town. Starting from the "top" of the traditional settlement and the Ahrian Mosque, the oldest mosque of Xanthi, the visitor will descend and cross the narrow streets of the city.

Through the buildings of beys and pashas of the Ottoman Empire, the visitor will experience up close the famous multiculturalism of the city of Xanthi, along with a fusion of cultural elements and aesthetic influences, with both traditional, local architectural elements and European influences.
