The construction of the new border fence with a total length of 27 km in the area of ​​Feres, Evros has started with the first pieces already having been installed.

The fence, on the Greek-Turkish borders in the northeast of Greece, will not be continuous, like the existing one. The first 9 km will be placed in “Petalo” of Feres, the next 15 km will cover the area of ​​”Tsirozi Estate”, while another 2.5 km will cover the area of ​​”Nea Egnatia”.

The uncovered areas are essentially inaccessible points along the Greek-Turkish border, as the river Evros does not function as a natural bulwark as Turkish territory “enters” west of the river.
