The low Krousion Mountain Range comprises the natural border between
the prefectures of Kilkis
and Serres. For centuries
now it has held in its heart the gold bearing source "The
river Gallikou". The beautiful variety of fauna reaches the forests with
its beach, pine and oak trees. This is where the wild boars, deer, vultures and
partridges are hidden. The Krousion Botanical Gardens encounter the trails of
nature where visitors can pursue their interests. This is where they can become
lost in the magic of nature up north at Kerkini
or east at Doirani.
The Palatianou
archaeological site and the post-Byzantine churches of "St.
Antoniou", "K. Theodorakion",
"Kokkinias", "Melissourgiou"
and "Fiska" witness
the human trials through many centuries. This was continued by the refugees from
Pontos and Thraki.
There is also "Mpampo" from Terpillo,
"The Momogerous" from St.
Marko and the traditional weddings from Pontos
at Efkarpia and Fiska.
There are also the cultural summers of the Krousson
municipality.
Krousia is a huge open window to nature, a challenging invitation
to everyone who is searching for its caress and attention.
