Serres is a city in Macedonia, Greece. It is situated in a fertile plain at an elevation of about 70 meter, some 24 kilometer northeast of the Strymon river and 69 kilometer north-east of the Macedonian capital, Thessaloniki. The Rhodope Mountains rise to the north and east of the city. The city is the capital of the regional unit of Serres and is situated at the eastern edge of Central Macedonia. Its municipal population was 76,240 in 2011. The Greek historian Herodotus mentions the city as Siris in the 5th century BC.
Theopompus refers to the city as Sirra. Later, it is mentioned as Sirae, in the plural, by the Roman historian Livy. Since then the name of the city has remained in plural and by the 5th century AD it was already in the contemporary form as Serrae. It is known as Ser in both Macedonian Slavic and Serbian, while in Bulgarian it is known as Syar or Ser, which can be deduced from the spelling before 1947 as, thus capturing both the ‘ya’ and ‘e’ sounds. The Katharevousa form for the name of the city was Serrai. It was known as Serez or Siroz in Turkish.
