In Palaio Agioneri, you can explore religious heritage and nature as distinct attractions. The named sites include the patron church, chapels, the lake at Giola and Prophet Elias. Other destinations in the wider destination of Kilkis are listed separately.

Churches and Religious Heritage

The patron church, dedicated to Saint George, was built by local residents in the 1920s. Its origins give it a specific connection to the local community. Palaio Agioneri also has chapels dedicated to Prophet Elias, Panagia and Saint Charalambos. You can therefore explore religious heritage as a distinct attraction: the church is defined by its construction history, while the chapels are distinguished by their different dedications.

Giola and Prophet Elias

There is a small lake at Giola, which is considered an attraction. Prophet Elias is a scenic spot in Palaio Agioneri that residents of the village and the surrounding area visit at Easter, on May Day and on other occasions. They enjoy nature there with family and friends. The lake at Giola and the visiting spot of Prophet Elias are thus two distinct natural attractions.

A Reported Walk

During an inaugural walk on 28 June 2025, participants covered a total of three kilometres, half of which was along the new trail at the time. The route passed through the forest and included small wooden bridges and signposts. If you are planning this nature outing, check in advance whether the route is currently accessible.

Visitors can follow the lakeside path from the village of Doirani to the Forest of a Thousand Trees. The focus here is on the wetland, birdlife and lakeside landscape; the nature attractions in Palaio Agioneri are different.

The Mouries forest in the wider destination of Kilkis is also known as the Forest of a Thousand Trees. It is designated a natural monument and covers 590 stremmata. Its natural monument designation and stated area give this forest a distinct character among the region’s landscape destinations.

Pikrolimni is also part of the wider destination of Kilkis. The shallow lake lies beside the village of the same name and usually dries up in summer. Its clay soil contains sulfur compounds and nitrates, and is attributed with healing and cosmetic properties. If you are considering visiting Pikrolimni in summer, its usual drying up is relevant to the seasonal context of this landscape.
