Kilkis prefecture is located in central Makedonia , between
the Prefectures of Pella , Thessaloniki and Serres . A large part
of Kilkis lies around the verdant valley of the Axios River , the
ancient Amfaxitida. Its western and northern regions include the
sublime and forested mountains of Paiko and Belles, while Krousia
on its north eastern side, and the Doirani Lake in the north and
west , constitute a natural border as well as a splendid aquatic
habitat with rare bird and plant species .
The region throughout appears to have been an area of human activity since the
Copper and Iron Ages. Prehistoric settlements and interspersed tombs have provided
significant findings dating back to the second millennium BC.

widest and most beautiful river.

At
the end of the archaic era, the region of the Kilkis prefecture
came into the hands of the Macedonian state into the boundaries
of the present Hellenic state.
Today, the region is restructured economically and culturally, and gladly embraces
its visitor in its splendid areas, marked with natural beauty.
The people of the area are creative, hardworking and very hospitable. They are
mostly occupied with agriculture, animal husbandry, industry and increasingly
with tourism. Many crops are grown here including cereals, tobacco and cotton.
The capital of the county is Kilkis and other important towns include Goumenissa,
Axioupoli and Polycastro.
The hill of Ai-Giorgis dominates the town of Kilkis, which is spread out at its
feet. The post-Byzantine church of Aghios Georgios graces its summit built in
1832, it contains unusual wall paintings.
