The route is about 2 km long, lasts about 80 minutes and is of moderate difficulty. In it, the visitor will be able to tour buildings of architectural or religious interest, which were either built thanks to the funding/donation of a Xanthi benefactor, or are related to the residence/shop of the benefactor's family.

The role of benefactors was particularly important for the Greek Orthodox Christian populations during the Ottoman period, since they took care of the construction of schools, churches and buildings of public character (e.g. clubs) and preserved through them the ethnic and religious identity of the community.

The visitor, starting from the chapel of Zoodochos Pigi on Lefkou Pyrgou Street and ending at Kavaki, will learn about the tobacco merchants-benefactors Sigalas, Stalios, Matsinis, Kougioumtzoglou, Chasirtzoglou, Michael Floris who rebuilt the Church of Agios Vlasios and the metropolitans of Xanthi and Peritheoriou Eugenios and Ioakeim Sgouros, who rebuilt or renovated churches, the Metropolitan mansion and the monasteries in the suburban forest.

Important were the donations of icons of professional guilds to churches, such as the union of cobblers and shoemakers, or the Epirote Georgios Kagialidis or the elders of the Velios family. There are many more known and unknown benefactors, whose donations and work we can admire today through their material remains.
