There are almost no traces left of the Perivolaki – Nea Zichni railway line, that was built under British supervision during World War I and revived by the Wehrmacht in World War II. After the end of the Second World War, the line was abandoned in 1947. The relatively well-preserved bridge in a beautiful location over the Aggitis river and the ruined old station building are the only contemporary witnesses. Today they are "lost places". A little below the bridge you can swim in the river in summer.
The Perivolaki – Nea Zichni railway was a narrow-gauge railway in Greece.

Pangeo Forest Village
a log cabin restaurant with great views. In the hot summer months you can escape here, because of the altitude, the heat. In winter, it is a cozy place to drink a wine by the large open fireplace.

(Μόνη Αγίου Παντελεήμονος) Located above the village of Chrisokastro with wonderful views of the valley and beautiful gardens.
Above the village starts the nice 'trail to the castle ruins' (about 2km) with wonderful views over the massif and the plain of Drama. A number of good restaurants with stunning views are well worth a visit in the village. The village is centrally located and well suited to take up quarters here. You can reach both Elefteropolis as a larger town quite quickly, as well as Kavala, if you want to escape the quiet of the villages. Also the way to the beach is not far and the village center is nicely designed, so that one can stroll in the evening and then eat well in one of the restaurants.
Above the village there is the restaurant Kastanies" which is definitivly worth a visit due to the impressive views over the plain of Philippi and on the Pangaio mountain. Because of the altitude, it is refreshingly cool even in midsummer. From the end of the street at the restaurant, a very nice 'trail' leads to a small waterfall (800m) and an old bridge (1600m).
