From Pamporovo/Smolyan just follow the signposts to Zlatograd and the border crossing. From there the road down to Greece is a bit of a drive.

You can't really lose your way - just follow the road through the 3 small villages of Thermes (one which is Ano Thermes ), through Sminthi etc . We entered just above Xanthi. We then drove through Xanthi and directly south to head for beach areas.
I have done the journey about 3 times now. Andie
