87. Euripides Chasirtzoglou Street
Brief documentation:
Main street with residences in the traditional settlement, which took its name from Euripides Chasirtzoglou, who served as Mayor of the city from 1925 to 1934.
Euripides Chasirtzoglou (1879-1941) was the son of a well-known family of cloth merchants, with many years of activity and tradition in the city of Xanthi.
In the past, the road was called Kato Haradras, and by this name it is known informally until today.
