Serres
Serres is the
capital of the prefecture of Serres and one of the most
important commercial centers (ca 80,000 inhabitants.) in
Macedonia, situated at a low elevation (70m). To the
North the hills and the first heights of the Vrondou
mountain chain embrace the city which has as its typical
landmark the hill of the Acropolis (Koulas), while to
the South it overlooks the fertile plain, through which
the Strymon flows some 24km away.
The city of
Serres, almost entirely rebuilt since the Bulgarian
incendiarism, is a pleasant city, with wide streets,
surrounded by abundant woods and luxuriant gardens. The
city is typical of the ample width of its road
structure, its parks, its squares and in general, with
anything that might be a reference point to an integral
modern city plan.
From the
ruined castle that crowns the round wooded hill to the
north, visitors can enjoy the wonderful view and they
are invited to explore the pine-filled hill through many
picturesque paths
On the way to
this hill, located at Exohon Street, there is one of the
most beautiful park in Serres, the park of Saints'
Anargiri valley. Being close to the center of the town
it is used as a place of leisure, sports and
entertainment by both the young and the old. Lots of
clubs and cafes located in this area offer a lot of
opportunities for an exciting night life during the
summer months.
The city
offers a rich cultural activity in many sectors.
Athletic, cultural and folklore associations coexist
creatively while the City Cultural Center offers an
alternative to the creativity and intellectual
restlessness of the citizens through the many
educational sectors that it provides as well as through
the cultural events that it organises. Finally the City
Regional Theatre which is committed to looking for ways
to satisfy the requirements of its audience is a
decisive factor in the cultural matters of Serres.
