Timios Prodromos Monastery, Serres: a holy place in Kerkini - Macedonia | mystic Greece
Holy Monastery of Timios Prodromos (Hermitage of St. John the Baptist), Akritochori Serres
In a wonderful location in Macedonia, in Akritochori Serron, is located the Hermitage of St. John the Baptist. The new church of the Hermitage was built exclusively with naturally occurring materials. Its construction faithfully followed Byzantine ecclesiastical architecture as well as the traditional building methods used in ancient times.
According to the authentic ancient technique the church was built with stone, lime, and pozzolan, cement-free. For the mortars they only used volcanic land, lime and aggregates of the region.
The imposing Monastery of St. John the Baptist is unique in character and overlooks the lake Kerkini in Akritochori. It follows the ritual of Mount Athos and is a nun monastery. If you are in the area, drop buy, light a candle and make your prayer. The nuns are very welcoming and it is peaceful inside.
Kerkini Lake is affected by major traffic routes. Along the north shore runs the national road 65 from Kilkis in the west on the south and east bank of Lake Doiran through the valley of the river Kerkinitis about Rodopoli, Neochori, Mandraki, Akritochori, Vyronia and Neo Petritsi on the National Road 63 (European Route 79) and flows into it Crossing the Strymona. The national road 63 leads from Serres via Sidirokastro to Promachonas to the Bulgarian border and subsequently further on Bulgarian territory to the capital of Bulgaria, Sofia. Parallel to this road runs the railway line Sofia-Thessaloniki to the intersection of national roads 63 and 65 at Neo Petritsi. The route to Thessaloniki pivots west along the northern shore of Lake Kerkini, the railway line to Serres, Alexandroupolis, Edirne and Istanbul runs to the south-southeast at a considerable distance to the eastern shore of Lake Kerkini. The national road 63 will be replaced by the highway 12 until 2010 (or 2012), which will directly connect Bulgaria with Thessaloniki. On the western shore of the lake there is only one minor road from Kerkini in the north to Lithotopos in the south.
Welcome to Serres – the town in Northern Greece that’s seen it all and has risen like a phoenix from the ashes of every catastrophe it’s ever faced. What’s its secret? You’ll discover it in the enchanting Lailia Forest, in the shade from the leafy trees at Agii Anargyri. You’ll taste it in its famous sweets and in the scent of its ouzos. You’ll recognise it in its people, who fill the nights with fun and games, and in its women who are renowned for their beauty. You’ll find that Serres will keep its promise to give you a holiday to remember.
What to do in Serres
Travel to the valley of Agii Anargyri
This lovely park infuses Serres with colour and fresh air. With cascades, brooks, spreading plane trees, an artificial lake, restaurants and cafes, it’s a perfect holiday destination for walks and picnics, especially in spring and summer.
Koulas Hill
This pine-covered hill overlooking town is not just an attractive backdrop, it contains the ruins of a once mighty Byzantine acropolis. Climb up to admire the view and you’ll also see the western tower of the fortress, Orestes’ tower, which was part of the inner wall. An inscribed foundation stone dates it to 1350, during the reign of the Serbian king Stefan Dusan.
The pristine beauty of Lailia
Go just 25km north of Serres and you’ll find yourself in the Lailia Forest, 330 hectares of pine and beech forest at an altitude of 1,849m above sea level at its highest peak, which has the unusual name of Ali Baba. The forest is a genuine paradise, home to 514 types of flora. It has been declared a Natural Monument and a region of particular Natural Beauty. Enough said. Go to this corner of Macedonia and see for yourself.
Skiing or après-ski?
If you want to ski, the Serres centre’s the place to go for great slopes and even greater fun afterwards. In its bars, clubs, cafes, restaurants, ouzeris and the famous souvlaki stands, you’ll feel the pulse and join the locals in having a good time.
The sweets of Serres
Dusted with sugar, they look like Turkish delight, but they’re quite different. They’re called akanes and what sets them apart is fresh goat butter and spring water from Lailia. For the real thing, there are a number of traditional confectionary stores in Serres that will have you drooling in no time.
A great place for excursion in Greece. Magic nature and activities! Do not miss it

ONLY ON AP Mining causes Greek villages to crumble
(19 Dec 2018) Anargyri is a hardscrabble enclave of homes in a black landscape gutted by coal mining.
The village once had more than 400 inhabitants and now has fewer than 50 after being torn apart over decades.
Its roads are slowly buckling, door frames and walls cracking open, and residents leaving not in panic but out of desperation.
One after another, tiny villages in northern Greece's lignite belt have been destroyed by mining, the ground becoming too unsteady to hold homes upright.
Bells at one church in the area are not rung regularly for fear of causing more cracks.
A few dozen households in the village have refused a power company offer to move to a rented apartment in a nearby town.
They are demanding full compensation for their homes, a right only granted by law if mining activity occurs directly below a settlement.
Heavy excavators and vehicles on the horizon look more like toy trucks, dwarfed by the scale of the blackened mining fields.
Despite warnings expressed at the current UN climate talks in Poland, backed by ambitious European Union renewable targets, Greece is planning to remain hooked on coal and is on course to expand its dependence on oil and gas, anxious to attract overseas investment as it emerges from a financial crisis that lasted nearly a decade.
Nearly a third of Greek electricity is produced by coal-fired plants and the country has no phase-out plan for domestically produced coal, unlike most parts of western Europe.
Known as brown coal, lignite is considered to be the lowest rank of coal, and Greece is currently the world's 12th largest producer according to data from the US federal Energy Information Administration, with some 36 million tons annually.
Under measures hammered out with Greece's bailout creditors, the state-controlled power company, PPC, will privatize three coal-fired electricity plants, prolonging their life.
The government has also embarked on a major exploration drive for oil and gas off its western and south coast.
The ventures have alarmed environmental groups which issued any urgent plea to the government this week to reverse course, switching investments to renewable sources abundant in Greece like solar and wind power.
We must act directly to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but our country is moving in the opposite direction, a letter addressed to Prime Minister Alexis Tsipas said.
It was signed by 34 environmental and human rights groups, including Greenpeace, the World Wide Fund for Nature, Amnesty International and Doctors Without Borders.
Greece is planning investment in fossil fuels for decades, along with worrying delivery of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, on an off shore, for hydrocarbon extraction.
This would surrender the country to the nightmare consequences of climate change, the letter said.
In Anargyri, residents have mixed feelings about coal.
PPC is a vital employer with some 5,000 local jobs.
The other attraction is that lignite, mined domestically, is not vulnerable to market or geopolitical shocks, unlike imported oil and gas, much of it coming from Russia.
Clearly, lignite activity will be reduced and will be replaced by other sources of energy, renewable sources of energy, PPC executive Konstantinos Theodoridis said.
But lignite will continue to be a strategic fuel that, in any geopolitical instability, is the only energy-producing fuel that is absolutely controlled by our country.
