The Battle of Merhamli was part of the First Balkan War between the armies of Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire which took place on 14/27 November 1912. After a long chase throughout Western Thrace the Bulgarian troops led by General Nikola Genev and Colonel Aleksandar Tanev surrounded the 10,000-strong Kırcaali Detachment under the command of Mehmed Yaver Pasha. Attacked in the surrounding of the village Merhamli (Now Peplos in modern Greece), only a few of the Ottomans managed to cross the Maritsa River. The rest surrendered in the following day on 28 November.

The Theotokos Kosmosoteira (Greek: Θεοτόκος η Κοσμοσώτειρα, lit. 'Theotokos the World-Saviour') is a Greek Orthodox church in Feres, Evros, in the Western Thrace region of Greece. It was built as a monastery in c. 1152 by the sebastokrator Isaac Komnenos, a son of the Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos. The monastery became the core of the settlement of Feres, but is last attested in the mid-14th century. By the 15th-century, during the Ottoman era, the complex was a mosque; and it was reconsecrated as a church in 1940, administered by the Metropolis of Alexandroupolis.
