A few words about Kastanousa, Serres<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Historical sources mention the settlement Ano Kastanousa in 1913, when it was liberated during the Second Balkan War. Until 1926 the village was named Palmes. The construction of the railway network and the station, as well as the construction of the road network forced the residents to relocate at a lower location.<\/p>\n

The village is found on the foot of the Mpelles mountain, in the borders with Bulgaria and North Macedonia. The green landscape and the beautiful trees have been an attraction point for visitors from the big urban centers.<\/p>\n

Apart from the elementary school there is also a kindergarten and the Cultural Association of Pontus. The Holy Orthodox Church of Saints Konstantinos and Eleni is dominant in the green square of the village.<\/p>\n

The village is renowned for its \u201cAVGOMACHIES\u201d (meaning \u201cegg games\u201d). The tradition goes back to the Greek Pontus, in the Black Sea, and symbolizes Christ\u2019s Resurrection, and the collision of good and evil. It takes place on the second day after Easter Sunday.<\/p>\n

The village is part of the Municipality of Sintiki<\/p>\n
