Thrace or Greek Thrace or West Thrace or Western Thrace (
Greek Θράκη or Ελληνική Θράκη or Δυτική Θράκη, Thrákı or Ellınıki Thrákı or Dıtıki Thrákı;
Turkish Trakya or Yunan Trakya or Batı Trakya) is the part of
Thrace located between the rivers
Nestos and
Evros in northeastern
Greece. Together with the regions of
Macedonia and
Thessaly, it is often referred to unofficially as northern Greece. The
eastern part of Thrace, east of the river Evros is the European part of
Turkey, and the area to the north, in
Bulgaria, is referred to as
Northern Thrace.
Region of Thrace is divided into the three
prefectures of
Xanthi,
Rodhopi and
Evros, which together with the two
Macedonian prefectures of
Drama and
Kavala form the
Periphery of
East Macedonia and Thrace. Furthermore, the prefectural authorities of Drama, Kavala and Xanthi have been combined into a single administrative unit in recent years, as have those of Rodhopi and Evros.
