Serrai, Greece

Capital City

Sixty-thousand residents call Serrai home, a bustling city in northern Greece. Unfortunately, the city's history of political upheaval and occupation has left a lingering bureaucratic headache - property rights and land titles remain a persistent issue. The climate is also a mixed bag, with scorching summers that can reach over 40°C and occasional bitter winters dipping below -20°C. For those able to navigate the red tape and handle the extremes, Serrai offers affordable living in a regional economic hub, though it lacks the charm and amenities of more tourist-friendly Greek destinations.
