Travel Guide Maronia

30 km south-east of Komotini, Maronia has everything to delight those who have had the courage to go so far... They will first find a superb beach of fine sand, little frequented, bordered by beautiful cliffs. The village of Maronia, with 625 inhabitants, is 4 km from the sea. It is a beautiful Balkan village, one of the most typical of the region, built near the ancient city mentioned by Homer under the name of Ismaros. The author of theIliad claims that Ulysses came here to buy the famous red wine intended to make the Cyclops drunk. It is therefore with emotion and with the thought of this red wine that we can go and discover the ruins of the ancient Maronia
