Serres, Administrative center in Macedonia, Greece
The city of Serres stands at the base of Mount Menoikio, extending across a fertile plain with the Strymon river flowing nearby.
During the Byzantine Empire, Serres developed into a fortified settlement and endured multiple conflicts between Greek, Bulgarian, and Ottoman forces throughout centuries.
The regional cuisine of Serres features local specialties including bougatsa pastries and Akanes candy, which reflect traditional cooking methods and ingredients.
The central location of Serres, connected by A2 and A25 motorways, enables direct transportation links to Thessaloniki and the Bulgarian border.
The tobacco trade shaped the economic development of Serres in the 20th century, leading to the construction of numerous tobacco warehouses across the city.
