Today the structure of the Old City is largely maintained against the decisions of the local authorities. This was achieved in the mid 1970s thanks to the efforts of the ex governor of the city Mr Konstantinos Thanopoulos as well as the efforts of Chief Inspectorate of Classical Antiquities of Komotini Mr Evangelos Pentazou. Also this combined effort was enforced by groups of people like the members of the Progressive Union of Xanthi ( FEX ) and the city was finally proclaimed as “Traditional Settlement”(FEX.661 05.17.1976) The new city now extends south and west. In the picture you can see the old and the modern city of Xanthi as well as the valley and in the background you can see the island of Thassos. PAKETHRA has created a location of panoramic view, which is in the Samakov district.
