A major motorway border crossing between Greece and Turkey is located here.

Kipoi was known as "Bahçeköy" ("Garden Village") or "Alibeyçiftliği" ("Ali Bey's Farm") during Ottoman rule.

They largely originate from the inhabitants of the villages of Qytezë and Sultanköy.

[1] Kipoi is located on the right bank of the river Evros which forms the border between Greece and Turkey.

The Kipoi border crossing is the eastern starting/ending point of European route E90 which is also the A2 motorway (Egnatia Odos).
