It is located in the eastern and the northeastern part of the Greek part of Thrace, and borders Turkey at the Evros river. Evros borders Bulgaria to the north and the northwest. The Rodhopi prefecture is bounded to its west. Evros is the northernmost prefecture in Greece. Its capital town is Alexandroupolis. Evros is one of the largest prefectures of Greece and is the largest in Thrace covering over 45%, almost half of the entire Greek Thrace. One of the two regions that cover over half of the entire region in Greece. The prefecture includes the small island of Samothrace. The second river is the Ardas river.
