From the first moment the visitor gets awed by the deep shadows of the perennial plane trees and the plentiful bodies of water running and forming lots of small waterfalls. The running water springs at the foothills of the mountain formed the lake that exists in the area. Ducks and fish live in this lake.

In this uniquely beautiful and naturally harmonic suburb, submerged in green and well-known all around Greece, thousands of visitors seek the cool breeze during summer and calmness during winter.

Our school, the 14th Primary School of Serres is located in Agios Ioannis and near this beautiful lake of the painting I did.

Kerkini's water buffaloes

Traveling around lake Kerkini, there exist the herds of the greatest buffaloes in Greece. The water buffaloes seem to exist in Greece for about 2.500 years.

In the late 1990s the remaining buffaloes were joined in a conservation program as a rare tribe of agricultural animals that is in danger of extinction and since then its population started to grow.
