The Agios Nektarios Institute

Sidirokastro, near the Bulgarian border, is a pretty town built on the banks of the Kroussovitis River. It took its name (Iron Castle) from the stronghold on the imposing rock, 155 m. above it, that once offered sure protection. The town and the surrounding area are almost overwhelmed by greenery and richly endowed with streams, waterfalls, bridges, churches, and monasteries.
