town and
nomós (
department),
Macedonia, northern Greece. It lies on a major tributary of the Angítis River, at the northern edge of the plain of Dráma. The town, a tobacco and agricultural (cotton and rice) centre, is served by several limestone springs issuing from the base of the nearby Falakrón Mountains. In the 18th century it replaced Philippi (
modern Fílippoi) to the southeast as the chief town of the plain. After the departure of the Turkish inhabitants in 1922, during the war between Turkey and Greece, its population was almost doubled by the arrival of Greek refugees from Turkey. Dráma is the headquarters of an army corps and the seat of a metropolitan bishop. It has a tobacco research station, rail connections, and a direct road link to the port of Kavála. Pop. (1991 prelim.) town, 39,914;
nomós, 96,978.
