Sidirokastro
A pocket-sized Greek town on the Krousovitis River with a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size, Sidirokastro also holds a medieval stone castle, Byzantine ruins, and natural spas. The Strymonas valley stretches out nearby, and the Vrontous mountains rise to the east, giving the town both river-level greenery and a mountain backdrop.
