Then we will visit Ano & Kato Porioia. Two beautiful villages, at a distance of 54 km. from Serres, which function as a twin destination. First you will find Kato Poroia, a small, picturesque village with a low profile and about 350 inhabitants, where the tranquility of the landscape, the sounds of nature and the images of a traditional Greece relieve the visitor from atheism. With the main axis of the square, tour the village and do not forget to taste the traditional, excellent flavors in the tavern To Kioski. Meet 3 magical villages of Serres as if they came out of a fairy tale! Continuing, just 2 km. away, you will find Ano Porioia.

Here you will walk in small alleys next to traditional houses of Macedonian and Epirus style, you will rest in one of the cafes of the square and you will taste fine flavors next to the stream. Excellent traditional dishes and a warm atmosphere we enjoyed in the tavern Let's Go Square and coffee with delicious homemade sweets in Τintza'es Café.
