Kyprinos

Kyprinos (Greek: Κυπρίνος) is a town and a former municipality in the Evros regional unit, East Macedonia and Thrace, Greece.

Kyprinos is located southwest of Edirne, Turkey, west-northwest of Orestiada, north of Alexandroupoli and about 5 to 6 km east of Kurdzhali and the Bulgarian frontier, where there is a border crossing.

When the great flood of the 1920s destroyed every house of the village which at that time was also located in the valley not a single building resisted its power except for that church.

The municipal unit Kyprinos is subdivided into the following communities (constituent villages in brackets):[2] Its logo contains a beautiful blue sky with its setting sun with a forested mountain and hills and foothills.

In the middle is the river Arda written in the Greek alphabet, also a swan and two fishes are in the water which is mainly its reservoir.

Excavations near the village of Mikri Doxipara - Zoni have brought interesting pieces of ancient Thracian culture (Thrace) into the light.

The Tombs found in that place (8 km from Kyprinos, between Zoni and Mikri Doxipara) are estimated to be from the 1st or 2nd century AD.
