== About Drama ==

'''Drama''' (''Δράμα'') is a town in northeastern [[Greece]]. Drama is the capital of the [[prefecture]] of [[Drama prefecture|Drama]]. The Drama prefecture is part of the [[East Macedonia and Thrace]] [[Peripheries of Greece|periphery]]. Drama is the largest prefecture that has only one province.

In the Roman occupation era, Drama was known as ''Dravescus (Δραβήσκος)'', and it had been a trade center and a military camp on the Roman [[Via Egnatia]].

The economy of the modern-day Drama area had heavily relied upon the local paper and clothing industries during the previous years. However, these industries have moved across the border to [[Bulgaria]], with a devastating impact on the local community's economy and employment. Other sources of income include agriculture, consisting mainly of tobacco plantations, small-scale mining and forest industry. Recently, there have been efforts to take advantage of the rich local natural environment and develop ecotourism in the area.

There is a modern ski resort on Mount [[Falakro]]. Drama also hosts an annual short film festival.

The street named Armen is named from the hero of Macedonian fight (1904-1908) Armen Kouptsios, from Volakas. Drama also has a tertiary football/soccer team named [[Drama FC]] which did not win the "Future Cup" (''Kypelon Melon'') in [[2005]].

==Sporting teams==

*[[Doxa Drama FC]] - third division
*[[Drama FC]] - fourth division?
*[[Pandramaikos FC]] - [[Greek Third Division|third division]] north

==Other==

Drama has schools, lyceums, gymnasia, banks, a post office, a sporting centre, a [[Serres train station|train station]], and squares (''plateies'').
