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-prefect 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.The new town now extends south and west .In the picture you see the Old and Modern town of Xanthi , the valley and in the background the island of Thasos. PAKETHRA has created a location of panoramic view,,which is in the Samakov district.
