Excellent photos, Kuvvaci!!! Glad to see a little of Komotini. One question: Is there any way you can replace these photos with smaller sized ones? I am sure they will have a better effect. Still loved them, though

Kuvvaci · November 9th, 2005, 07:53 PM

Yes, you are right... I promise I will try...

At least I will send the other photos... You didn't see the best part yet. A new shopping center

that you don't expect from a small city...

Skaros · November 9th, 2005, 08:40 PM

Thank you Kuvvaci ! very nice photos! Please resize them couse i dont have dsl and it takes a long time!

I wait for the next part!

Christos7 · November 9th, 2005, 08:57 PM

Yes they are very big Kuvvaci, it's hard to see them! But other than that great photos, thanks for sharing them with us.

I am waiting for your other ones, I have never been to Komotini before. Did you like it? How long were you there for?

Don't resize the photo with the shopping center Kuvvaci. Upload it in imageshack and post the link in this thread.

Thanks.

Good work Kuvvaci

Raleigh-NC · November 10th, 2005, 02:57 PM

Excellent work Kuvvaci- both in terms of angles and photo size

Never mind the tripod, the photos are still great. I like the Kosmopolis shopping center; it is much classier than most shopping centers I've seen.

Some information about the city:
Komotini used to be uninportant Thrace city in the past, young people was leaving the city for university in Athens or Thessaloniki or finding a job. But as I am told, Thrace University changed the destiny of this city. Yes, native people are mostly people of the main markets and dealers at the shops. Plus the villagers wich are coming from the villages around the city. But now, city is a point of atraction. Young people come here for the university from all around of Greece, plus abroad.

I am sure you wouldn't like the universty if you saw. Some buildings wich are away from eachother in front of agriculture fields. But, BUT, Universty represents you many opportunities, more than others... reseacrhing opportunities on some facts that you can't find anywhere. Good master programs. An international surround (you can't see so many foreign students anywhere else, beside Greeks, Serbs, Bulgarians, Turks, Romanians, Russians ect...) Free food 3 times everyday, free transportation till the late ours of the night, free hostel. Spending less money possibilities...

After all these, students started to come to the city and cafes, clubs, bubs, restaurants and of course such stores like Kosmopolis have bene openned.

Beyond these facts... Komotini is famous with coffee

you buy the best coffee. You can see the lines of people in front of the coffee shops ( that I was amazed). I bought some coffee of course, but I wish I would buy more...BTW 1 kilo cofee is 5 EURO...

Very nice town. Good work Kuvvaci. How are you enjoying yourself in Greece?

gm2263 · November 12th, 2005, 05:41 AM

Thanks for the pics and Info, Kuvvaci. Guys, if I remember correctly, in this ODEON-Kosmopolis centre, above the ground level, there were built many rooms to be used as studios by the students of the university. Also, I am not sure wherer, along with the centre, a number of residential buildings were also built in the rear side of the centre.

In any case, it looks like a nice town and I am glad to see that other cities besides Athens are developing like that.

Again, thanks for the pics...

Hello Kuvvaci and everyone else,
I read in the threat that you have specific photos from Komotini. I lived there half a year in 2005 for my studies Law. I'm from the Netherlands and I would love to see the pictures you have from Komotini. I had the time of my life there....
Could you mail them to me or can I see them somewhere?

Greetings!

Laurens
