Papikio (Greek: Παπίκιο) is a mountain in Rhodope, Greece. Christian ascetics and monks lived on the mountain during the Byzantine period.[2][3] Today, Byzantine monastery ruins can be found on the mountain.
In Bulgarian, Papikio is known as Orlitsa (Bulgarian: Орлица). In Turkish, it is known as Kartal Dağı. It is the highest point of the Eastern Rhodopes as well as the highest summit of the Komotini Ridge (Bulgarian: Гюмюрджински снежник, romanized: Gyumyurdzhinski Snezhnik), which is shared by Bulgaria and Greece. The southernmost point of Bulgaria, Veykata (1463 m; Bulgarian: Вейката) is located a few kilometres to the north of Papikio.[4]
