On big Dimokratias Avenue is since 2011 the 'Istoriko Mouseio Alexandroupolis', for which - with funds from SNF (Stavros Niarchos Foundation) - had been constructed a modern and quite attractive building. Entrance fee is 2 Euros. On the ground floor are temporary exhibitions like paintings by local artists. On the second floor is the collection by researcher Eleni Filippidi, who dedicated part of her life to the study of the fascinating subgroup of the ethnic Greek Sarakatsani, who led a life as transhumant shepherds in most of the southern Balkan mountains until the 1950's.

All in all a good and worthwhile to visit museum, especially if one understands and reads Greek.…
