The length of the Nestos is 230 to 243 km (depending on the length calculation) of which 104 to 130 km are in Greece and 113 to 126 km in Bulgaria.

The Nestos rises in the mountain massif Rila in Bulgaria in the north, and flows in the south into the Aegean Sea (more precisely into the Thracian Sea) in the form of a delta north of the island of Thasos.

It flows in a north-south direction first through the mountain ranges of the western Rhodope Mountains and the Falakro.
