'''Evros''' (Greek: Έβρος) is one of the fifty-one [[prefecture|prefectures of Greece]] and is the northernmost. It is located in the eastern and the northeastern part of the Greek part of [[Thrace]], and borders Turkey at the [[Evros river]]. Evros borders Bulgaria to the north and the northwest. The [[Rhodope prefecture]] is bounded to its west. Evros is the northernmost prefecture in Greece. Its capital town is [[Alexandroupolis]]. Evros is one of the largest prefectures of Greece and is the largest in Thrace covering over 45%, almost half of the entire Greek Thrace. One of the two regions that cover over half of the entire region in Greece. The prefecture includes the small island of [[Samothrace]]. The second river is the [[Ardas]] river. The river area was devastated by floods from [[February 17]] to [[February 22]] [[2005]] and again from [[March 1]] to [[March 4]], 2005. The [[Rhodope mountains]] lie to the west.

The name of the prefecture is derived from the [[Evros river]], which appears to have been a [[Thrace|Thracian]] hydronym.
