Discover the Breathtaking Beauty of Mount Giona

Getting There

• Walking

  Start at the central square of Serres, located near the statue of the hero of the Greek War of Independence, which is known as Plateia Eleftherias. From the square, head east on Egnatias Street (Οδός Εγνατίας) for about 400 meters until you reach the intersection with Kallinikou Street. Turn right onto Kallinikou Street and continue straight for another 600 meters. You will pass a few local shops and cafes along the way. Once you reach the intersection with Vasilissis Sofias Street, turn left. Keep walking for about 800 meters until you reach the outskirts of the city. Look for signs indicating the direction to Αϊ Γιώργης (Agios Georgios). The path may turn into a more rustic road with some greenery around. Continue walking for approximately 1 kilometer until you see the entrance to the hiking area. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes as the terrain may be uneven.

• Public Transport

  From the central bus station of Serres (Ktel Serres), take bus line number 1 or 2 towards the outskirts of the city. Ask the driver to let you off at the stop nearest to the entrance of Αϊ Γιώργης. The ride should take approximately 15-20 minutes. Once you get off the bus, follow the signs towards the hiking area, which is about a 10-minute walk from the bus stop. Keep an eye out for local landmarks like a small chapel or a park, which indicate you are on the right path.
