It is thanks to this diversified geographical blend that the needs of its citizens are also diversified and local policy is therefore designed and implemented to take this reality into consideration.

As far as human geography is concerned, the citizens of the Municipality descend from different cultural and linguistic subsets of the wider Hellenic heritage, including but not limited to those from Asia Minor and the Black Sea. While fully integrated into the contemporary local life for decades, these subsets continue to enrich the local cultural life with their own distinct cultural contribution. Thus, it is no surprise that a plethora of local cultural groups are active within the geographical limits of the Municipality, preserving a variety of customs, traditions and dialects. Overall, the Municipality of Oraiokastro has the profile of a vibrant and culturally rich local community.
