Ancient Plane Tree in Sikorrachi, Greece Survives Multiple Threats
In the semi-mountainous village of Sikorrachi in Thrace, a remarkable plane tree stands at least 500 years old, with some estimates suggesting it may be over 1,000. It narrowly escaped destruction from dynamite 25 years ago and survived a fire four years ago. Local resident Stathis Yamouridis highlights the tree’s impressive size and the community’s commitment to preserving it as a tourist attraction.
