Settlement in the region of Xanthi. After the Treaty of Lausanne, refugees from Eastern Thrace and Asia Minor settled here. The name of the village (meaning "archers") probably came from its older name, Oxylar, from the Turkish okcu, which means "archer".
The area is ideal for alternative tourism and activities such as canoeing, climbing, archery, cycling and walks along the Nestos.
The route (Stavroupolis-Toxotes) is easy and the descent takes about 4.5 hours. During the descent, the visitor has the opportunity to enjoy the natural landscape and to observe the birds.
