I have been in Rodopoli and Parapotamos as well,15-16 years ago.In Rodopoli i stayed around 3-4 weeks.Nice village,i liked it.It's the economical center of the region.Parapotamos,if i remember well is a small village with 100-150 inhabitants.
I cant say i know every village or town in Serres but i know Emmanouil Papas but i cant locate it on a map , yeah rodopoly is basically the center of poroia ano and kato , parapotamos , neoxori etc . Parapotamos yeah they cant be more than 150 people there now there used to be more lively when i was a kid i remember there used to come alot of kids from all around to their village now no one does.

Haha,enas enas vgainoun sti fora oi...akanedes. !Do you know the moto:Eimaste oraioi giati eimaste Serraioi?
Foti's village is one of the bigest in Serres,about 2500 inhabitants who are originating from Skopos,a town in Eastern Thrace.Their ancestors came in the area after the population exchange in 1922 and founded their new homeland in a very fertile plain near Strymonas river.Neos Skopos is famous in Serres region for his watermelons and therefore its inhabitants bears the nickname...karpouzas(karpouzi=watermelon).
Now,Foti,listen a funny incident that happened around 16-17 years ago.Some of your fellow villagers who wanted to reserve a restaurant for a wedding feast couldn't find in their village anyone available and therefore they went in the neighboring village Agio Pnevma.When they were asked <where are you from?> and responded <eimaste Skopianoi> (We are Skopians=from Skopos) they got the answer:<Go away from here,we don't like Skopians!>
