	'''Kato Nevrokopi''' ("Lower ]i") is a municipality in the north-west section of the ], ]. It covers an area of 872 thousands acres and its population is 8400 people. The region is known for the very low temperatures during the winter and for its famous agricultural products such as potatoes and beans. But these aren't the unique well-known things. There, you can visit and enjoy the ski center Falakro, the traditional settlement in the village Granitis, the historical bunker Lise, the artificial lakes of Lefkogia and Potami, the spectacular routes in the forests, the old churches. The short distance from Drama, half an hour for Nevrokopi and one hour for the birch tree forest in Mikromilia, helps the kind of tourism, which is quite different from the established type of holidays. Another way to reach Nevrokopi is the road from Serres from where after a journey of an hour in a mountainous and woody environment, the visitor arrives at Nevrokopi. The extensive net of forest paths as well as the European Path E6, which crosses the Prefecture, assures the pleasure of the walker-traveller and his immediate contact with nature in its grandeur. In the near future, at the Greek-Bulgarian borders at the passage of Exohi, a customhouse will be opened.

Kato Nevrokopi (Greek: Κάτω Νευροκόπι, romanized: Káto Nevrokópi "Lower Nevrokopi") is a municipality and town within that municipality in the northwest section of the Drama regional unit, Greece. Before the 2011 local government reform, it was the largest municipality in all of Greece, covering an area of 873.552 km (337.28 sq mi). The 2021 census reported a population of 5,323 inhabitants. The region is known for the very low temperatures during the winter and for its famous agricultural products such as potatoes and beans. The area has several features to attract tourists: the ski center of Falakro, the traditional settlement in the village of Granitis (pop. 55), the historical bunker of Lise, the artificial lakes of Lefkogeia and Potamoí, the spectacular routes in the forests, the old churches. The forest paths offer excellent views to hikers. The largest towns are Kato Nevrokopi (the municipal seat, pop. 1,855), Volakas (783), Perithorio (569), Lefkogeia (321), Ochyro (314), Kato Vrontou (287) and Vathytopos (255). On the territory of the municipality are located several abandoned villages, including Monastiri and Mavrochori.

History

Under the Ottoman Empire, the village was predominantly settled by Bulgarians, with small numbers of Turks and Vlachs. Following the Asia Minor Catastrophe and the subsequent population exchange, it was settled by large numbers of Greek refugees from Asia Minor. In 1927, its name was changed from Ζύρνοβο (Zyrnovo, Зърново) to Kato Nevrokopi, after the neighbouring town of Nevrokop (present Gotse Delchev) in Bulgaria. On 18 April 1945, during fighting related to the Greek civil war, many Slavic Macedonian inhabitants left the area. Many of them resettled in Štip, North Macedonia.

Climate

Kato Nevrokopi has a humid continental climate. It is one of very few locations in Greece with this climate and is one of the coldest places in the country. It has cold and somewhat snowy winters and warm to hot somewhat humid summers. Precipitation tends to be balanced throughout the year, although there is a small Mediterranean climate influence resulting in July and August being, to a small degree, drier than the rest of the year. Temperatures of -20°C or below have been recorded numerous times in the past. However, there has been a warming trend in the last few years and such temperatures occur less often. Downpours and hail happen sometimes in form of showers in spring and summer. Blizzards and thick fogs in the wintertime have been reported occasionally.
