Alexandropolis
From World travel guide
Alexandropolis is in Thrace. It is a small town with an harbour and an airport. Though the Lonelyplanet describes it as "dusty", it has a rocky beach, and a typical greek nightlife. Go there if your heading to the island of Samothraki, or to change train for Istanbul.

By ferry
Ferries to Samothraki leave mostly twice a day - but irregularly. There is a fast one (1 h /17,7€) and a slow one also for cars (3h/8,8 for a singel person). Tickets have to be bought in a travel agency near the port.

There are no Cheap Youthhostels, but a couple of mid-range hotels by the Seaside. Backpackers often just stay at the beach near the Trainstation.
