The capital is the city of Kilkis.
Location: Greece's northern gateway to the Balkans, with two major border crossings (Evzones and Doirani) to North Macedonia.
Geography: Mostly flat (Axios/Vardar River valley), with mountains on the outskirts (e.g., Paiko, Kroussia, Belles). Fertile soil, hills, forests, lakes, and waterfalls.
Economy: Primarily agriculture (grain, cotton, tobacco, viticulture, especially around Goumenissa), livestock farming, and some transport/logistics due to its border location.
Characteristics: Quiet, green area with abundant nature, Byzantine monasteries, archaeological sites (from ancient Macedonian times), folkloric traditions, and wine culture.
In short: a rural, undiscovered part of Macedonia with beautiful nature and historical depth, but without mass tourism.
