Keep in mind that itâs not âcoolâ to swim in Maritsa River. As the riverbed is exactly where Greco-Turkish border is, this area is passageway of illegal immigrant smugglers, so anyone swimming in the river may be detained or fined by either Greek or Turkish authorities for âillegally entering the countryâ. Go to the sea instead.
The mosquito population of Enez is exceptionally large, largely due to its location near the swamps created by Maritsa delta. Their bites are also exceptionally painful, so donât forget to pack a repellent, screen, and anything else that will keep mosquitoes away from you. No need to worry about malaria though, the worst mosquito bites can cause is heavy itching, as malaria is totally eradicated or already unknown since time immemorial in this part of the world.
Also beware of sea urchins, which are relatively common in the area, when swimming.
