In the area of Drama there are two main rivers, Nestos and Agitis.

The “traveler” river Nestos tempts us to follow it by any means and to come into direct contact with lush forests, picturesque villages from other times, paths drowned in nature, forest villages and protected wetlands. How a river could take you to enchanting and dreamlike places, by simply following its course, is known only to those who were lucky enough to meet the mythical Nestos on his way from Xanthi to Drama and got to know him. follow its Straits until the moment it forms the famous Delta.

Agitis is the largest tributary of Strymons with a length of about 75 km. It is mentioned from the 5th BC. century by Herodotus and the 1st AD h. by Appian. Along its route, the river crosses part of the Prefecture of Drama where its sources and the homonymous river Cave are located. The water flows from the springs join in the area of the village of Symboli Serres, and from this point the river begins a labyrinthine route between vertical rocks, forming the gorge of the same name of Aggitis, in the area of Alistratis.
