Car Hire in Alexandroupolis - Mini guide to Alexandroupolis

Located 25 miles west of the Greek border with Turkey, Alexandroupolis is an attractive port city that serves as a major hub for travellers heading to or from Bulgaria and Turkey and car hire at Alexandroupolis is available.

Alexandroupolis has been at a cultural nexus for years, and it was occupied by Bulgaria twice during the first half of the 20th century. Today it has been reborn as an important waypoint on an oil pipeline running from the Black Sea. But there are plenty of cultural attractions to compensate for the rise of industry.

The entire city emanates from the harbour, where the region's rail and road links converge. Leoforos Demokratias is the main coastal thoroughfare with access to the harbour, while the Egnatia east-west highway (E90) passes north of the city and connects to important cities across Greece including Thessaloniki, which could theoretically be reached with car rental in Alexandroupolis.

Alexandroupolis is home to a couple of excellent museums detailing the city's early founding under Alexander the Great along with the role it played in both World Wars. With cheap car hire in Alexandroupolis, you can explore the wetlands and forests in the near countryside.

The ferry is still Alexandroupolis' major draw, and hotels in the city fill up with tourists on layover during the peak summer months. Boats regularly connect to Samos (18 hours, 45 minutes), Rhodes (28 hours, 45 minutes), Chios (15 hours, 15 minutes), Kalymnos (23 hours, 15 minutes) and Kos (24 hours, 30 minutes). Flights connect to Athens (55 minutes) and Crete (1 hour, 15 minutes).
