Maroneia, GR
Get Directions
The modern town of Maroneia lies several kilometers north of the ancient city, which its inhabitants abandoned in the Middle Ages due to persistent piracy.
The traditional quarter of the settlement bears witness to the region’s remarkable economic prosperity in the 19th century, when the people of Maroneia migrated abroad to trade their tobacco. One of them was Parrasios Tavaniotis, who left behind an excellent two-storey mansion that is now a listed monument.
A typical example of Western Thrace residential architecture, it accommodates an exhibition of antiquities entitled “Maroneia and Ismarus from Prehistoric to Modern times”.
