Travel to Kilkis!
The Kilkis Prefecture is located in central Makedonia , between the Prefectures of Pella , Thessaloniki and Serres. A large part of Kilkis lies around the verdant valley of the Axios River , the ancient Amfaxitida. Its western and northern regions include the sublime and forested mountains of Paiko and Belles, while Krousia on its north eastern side , and the Doirani Lake in the north and west , constitute a natural border as well as a splendid aquatic habitat with rare bird and plant species . The region throughout appears to have been an area of human activity since the Copper and Iron Ages. Prehistoric settlements and interspersed tombs have provided significant findings dating back to the second millennium BC.
South from the city of Kilkis, almost at the prefecture's limits, Pikrolimni constitutes an area of special interest to the interested tourist, since the Balkan's first organized mud-bathing therapy centre is located at the lake's shores. It is one of
Greece's most significant lakes from the view of therapeutic and cosmetic qualities, thanks to its clay composition. Six mud bathing therapy units, as well as first class housing, provide the guests with every comfort. The lake also features outdoor mud bathing during the summer months.
Today, the region is restructured economically and culturally, and gladly embraces its visitor in its splendor , ideally marked with natural beauty .
