Skjulte perler i Serres kommune

Hidden Gems of Serres

Beyond the urban center of Serres lie rare ecological sites and historical remnants concentrated in the Lailias mountain range. The region features the Sphagnonas bog, a unique peat moss ecosystem rare in Greece, alongside the Limnoula pond and secluded waterfalls. Historical interest is centered on the ruins of Banitsa (Karyes), the site of revolutionary Gotse Delchev's final battle in 1903, where a stone bell tower still stands among abandoned foundations.
