Map showing the Drama prefecture within Greece

Drama (Δράμα) is a town in northeastern Greece. Drama is the capital of the prefecture of Drama. The Drama prefecture is part of the East Macedonia and Thrace periphery.

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 accross 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 andvantage of the rich local natural environment and develop ecotourism in the area.

Drama hosts an annual short film festival.
