Car Hire in Alexandroupoli Center

Rent a car at Alexandroupolis Port and continue your journey along the Thrace coast directly from the quay. The port is served by ferries to Samothraki, and with a rental car you can combine a ferry trip with excursions along the mainland. The city center is just 1 km west along the seafront promenade.

Alexandroupolis Port is an active ferry harbor with daily departures to the island of Samothraki during the summer season. The port area is lined with fish restaurants and cafés at Leoforos Dimokratias. Airport AXD is reached in 10 minutes east via the coastal road.

Leave the car at the port and take the ferry to Samothraki for a day trip – the Kabeireion Sanctuary and waterfalls are worth visiting. Drive 20 km south along the coast toward Maroneia to see the ancient Greek city-state and wineries. Avoid port parking during ferry arrivals – it can get crowded for about 30 minutes around departure time.

Can I park my rental car at the port while I take the ferry to Samothraki? Yes, there is parking in the port area, but check with the rental company that multi-day parking is allowed and that the car is insured during your absence. How far is it from the port to the Evros Delta?
