One myth on the banks of Kerkini
Before some time in an event that it was in Serres, I offered to go. It was certainly the most beautiful proposals I have made for travel within Greece. Serres is from parts of northern Greece that may not be first in the selection list to the visit, and refrain 615 kilometers from Athens. Very wrong for me. The beauty of the region unfolding veil veil to the visitor, and has many places to see and love.
Yes, love, because Serres and the surrounding area are aimed at all tastes and all ages. Sights, hiking, clubbing, hammams, piknik, mountains, forests, a city full of life, traditionally uninhabited villages, what a visitor wants find. Each village around Serres is distinct, with its own unique color. It is to have a car with you to be able to comfortably go. The Chionochori is a traditional settlement not inhabited anymore. It is all stone and the law forbids anyone to build cement. Until last year left two grandparents but now has erimothei completely.
In Lithotopo village, located next to Lake Kerkini, you can fas very good fish. Kerkini is one of the most important wetlands in the country. It is an artificial lake created in 1932 with the construction of the dam in Strymon. In existed but wetland and thus the lake continues to host many species and is a milestone many rare migratory birds. Moreover kept nerovouvaloi.
Because of Voulgarokratias, Darnakochoria yet a great ntopiolalia. It is worth the visit for one crawled to the alleys and talking with residents. From Darnakochoria which certainly worth a visit is Emmanuel Pappas, Pentapoli, Gold and the Holy Spirit. Also, a beautiful village is the Ano Poroia, mountain high, with a splendid view and all of stone.
The first of Serres, inextricably linked with all the political history of the 20 th century, and there is the birthplace of Constantine Karamanlis, is valuable, and is the only village that has a swimming pool. It is worth a trip to the Byzantine Monastery of the Holy Prodromou or «Prodromoudi», located a few kilometers outside Serres, going to St. John.
In the town of Serres of the best summer destinations is the valley of the Holy Anargyroi, with trees and picturesque wooden bridges to dominate on one side and the summer-coffee bars and clubs to bustling life to another.

Apart from this, however, it is imperative to visit the stone, traditional steam in Agkristro, which has well and guest house, where traditionally sold products. Health spas and has been in Sidirokastro.
The Amphipolis is one of the most important archaeological sites in the prefecture. It offers and Museum. In the archaeological site of A mfipolis there is the "Lion of A mfipolis" symbol perifaneias but also guard the ancient city. It is also a visit to the Cave of A listratis, after which you can go to the gorge and Giofyri of Angiti and admire the construction of the Macedonians of Philip V, in an effort to apoxiranoun the tenagi of Philippi and Drama.
In the city of Serres get on the Koula, which is the Tower of Orestes. The view is beautiful. There are many sights Byzantine origin you can browse.
