Built by people who already loved radio
Star 88.8 broadcasts from the edge of Xanthi's old city, reaching the surrounding prefecture on FM and online. According to the station's own profile on e-radio.gr, it was founded by people with a long personal history in radio who wanted to build a station around their shared love of the medium and good music, running an artistic, hits-driven format with news elements and themed live shows produced by experienced on-air talent.
Broadcasting from a genuine crossroads of cultures
Xanthi's old town gives the station an unusually layered backdrop. The neighborhood preserves Ottoman-era mansions with projecting wooden balconies alongside neoclassical houses and a complex of 57 surviving nineteenth-century tobacco warehouses, physical reminders of the wealth that tobacco trading once brought to the city. Greek Orthodox, Muslim, Jewish, and Armenian communities have lived and traded side by side there for generations, and that mix still shows in the mosques and churches that sit close together across the city today.
Home to Greece's second-biggest carnival
That layered identity comes out fully every year at Xanthi Carnival, the largest carnival celebration in northern Greece and the second largest in the country after Patras. The festival fills the city with concerts, theater, music and dance nights, and street games, drawing on customs from every community that calls Xanthi home rather than a single cultural tradition.
