Echinos village is the geographic center of the villages of Rodopi
mountain range. Along with village Miki it is also the shopping and agricultural
center of the mountainous area. Having more than 4,000 inhabitants, Echinos is
the biggest of the communities, which form the municipality of Miki. It has three
mosques, a good marketplace and some social services such as schools and a health
station. It is well known for the excellent quality of the produced meat. People
here are very friendly, very hospitable and hard working. Most of them work for
agriculture producing various agricultural products of excellent quality (tobacco,
meat, milk etc).
Being 26 km away from Xanthi, Echinos is a good starting point for
excursions to the nearby villages. In this mountainous area we can find beautiful
wild scenery, streams with very clear water and the marvelous arch bridges, which
date back to the era of Byzantium. After a 15 km drive through Oak Forest we can
reach Thermes, a village divided into three districts. Here, there are baths for
spa therapy with modern facilities.
