With an altitude of 2,232 meters Mountain Falakro dominates in the north of Drama. It is one of the most beautiful mountains of Greek nature, and despite its name (Falakro = Bald) it is not “bald” at all. The lower altitudes are full of dense forests of oak, beech and conifers while there is a great variety of wildflowers in the alpine zone.
