Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 367 reviews
The Cave of Alistrati near the town of Serres is considered one of the largest and most beautiful caves not only of Greece but of Europe. The total length of its passages is approximately 3 km, of which 1 km is accessible by the disabled. According to Greek mythology, the Sphinx made her appearance at the position "Petroto" of the Gorge of Aggites that traverses the Alistratis area. Myth also mentions Pluto,the god of the Underworld; when he kidnapped Persephone, the daughter of goddess Demeter, he brought her to this natural ravine where a Gate to the Underworld existed. The area that mythology mentions is situated near the touristic site of the Cave of Alistrati; this area also features a few other caves. At a distance of 250m from the south side of the cave's entrance, one finds the railway tracks connecting Serres to the town of Drama.

Every day at the endless number of beach sites could be brainwashing. This cave is nice opportunity to get out of the monotony daily life of a tourist. It is beautiful and magical route to the inner earth even for kids.

It is a long drive through a military area after you leave the motorway. The soldier guide gave us an excellent and informative tour in very good English. The extensive bunker complex was amazing and it was very interesting to see how it had been organised and used and quite astounding that it had all been dug by hand. We were also given a good account of the history of the area at the time of the second world war and the battles in the area. After the bunker we visited the small museum at the side of the road on the way out. This had an interesting array of artefacts and photographs.

Lake Kerkini is one of the most important wetlands in Europe. What a stunning place!!! Birds everywhere and the greatest number of buffalos in Greece. Everything here exicts in a pieceful kingdom!! During your visit try a lot of outdoor activities. Cycling around the lakeside villages or take your own canoe. Don t miss a boat ride with the traditional boats!!! A real bird watching paradise!! (if you are lucky you can see flamingos all around) Try sweet kazan dipi and look for buffalo milk yogurt! Lake Kerkini is the perfect place to refresh your mind and soul!! Don't miss it!!

6. Ancient Amphipolis

Near Philippi, excellent small museum, several byzantine churches with lovely mosaics, some roofed and therefore always available for viewing, a Hellenistic house, a gymnasium area, wooden bridge footings from classical period, extensive city walls; most of the archaeological remains are fenced off and you need to pay a guard from the museum to come with keys. Site is interesting and museum's great.

Dating from centuries ago, these baths are good for your health, relaxing, and the jets of warm water on your shoukders are like a massage. Clean and pretty, the pools are cheap to book. What’s not to like?
