Tycheró (, ) is a town and a former municipality in the Evros regional unit, East Macedonia and Thrace, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Soufli, of which it is a municipal unit. The municipal unit has an area of 220.411 km2. Tychero is situated near the river Evros, which forms the border with Turkey here.
==History== Under Ottoman rule Tychero was known as Bıdıklı (Greek: Μπίντικλι). After the Balkan Wars (1912-1913) it became part of Bulgaria, and it became part of Greece in 1920. It was renamed to Tychio, which was changed to the current name Tychero in 1953. In February 2006 Tychero was struck by a flood of the Evros river. The town is populated by Arvanites originally from Ibriktepe, now in Turkey.
