Situated very close to Lefkimmi, the fossilized forest of Evros is one of the best-preserved forests of its type throughout Europe. This fossilized forest of rare beauty is 40 million years old and the only one in Europe with fossils that are scattered in a lush dense forest. It was created thanks to the geotectonic evolution in the Aegean combined with the intense volcanic activity that prevailed in the area million years ago.

The fossil forest of Evros offers many opportunities for trekking and hiking. The landscape can be enjoyed throughout the paths and safe walking routes.
