Hotels in Komotini
Komotini, capital of the Rhodope regional unit, began as a staging post on the Roman Via Egnatia and grew into a tobacco town under Ottoman rule, which still shows in its centre. The old market, a small quarter of Ottoman-era shops, and the old clock tower on Ifaistou Square sit next to the cafés of the central square, where an evening stroll starts. Sleeping within a few streets of that square means you never need the car after dark. Komotini has no airport: the nearest is Alexandroupoli, about 55 km east, and Thessaloniki is about 215 km west. Out of town, ancient Maroneia keeps its theatre and part of its walls near the sea, and the three-arched 18th-century bridge over the Kompsatos river is a short drive north-west. The town is home to a large student population, so the centre stays busy outside summer. The 10 hotels on this page average 8.5 out of 10 over more than 5,500 reviews.
In Komotini, stay in the centre around the clock tower and the old market: the cafés, the Ottoman-era shopping lanes and the evening walk are all on foot, and most of the town's hotels are within a few streets of each other. Komotini is a working Thracian capital and university town rather than a resort, so it suits a stopover on the road across northern Greece or a base for Maroneia and the Kompsatos valley.

- Flying in? Alexandroupoli airport is about 55 km away, so plan a car or a transfer; Komotini has no airport of its own.
- Give a morning to ancient Maroneia: its theatre sits near the sea south-east of town and pairs well with a swim on that stretch of coast.
- Drive out to the three-arched bridge over the Kompsatos river, an 18th-century stone bridge that rewards a short detour north-west of town.
- Walk the old market in the morning, when the Ottoman-era shops are open and the lanes are at their busiest with local shoppers.
- Komotini is a university town: during term the centre is lively late into the evening, so ask for a room away from the main square if you sleep early.
