Chestnut forest Sirikari has a big chestnut forest which is typical of the region. There is also a small river that runs through it which makes it a very nice scenery. The biggest annual festival (paniyiri) is held in this chestnut forest. Chestnuts are one of the main sources of the local agricultural economy.
Sirikari - Polyrrhenia Gorge A beautiful gorge exists between Sirikari and the ancient
acropolis of
Polyrrhenia. A moderate path runs the gorge and it is an activity suggested by travel guides and local agents.
Agrotourism Agrotourism is well established in the area. A few years ago, Milia (), a nearby abandoned village, was refurbished and opened as an eco-friendly inn.
Churches - Paniyiria Villages in Greece have many small scattered churches and Sirikari is no exception. Each church holds an annual festive
liturgy on the day of the saint's name celebration. After the liturgy, a paniyiri is held which involves live music, dancing and much food and wine. The biggest paniyiri in the area is
Panagia's which is held on the 15th of August every year and draws crowds from the surrounding areas and villages. The paniyiri is held in the chestnut forest. Another very well known paniyiri is the Holy Cross one held on the 13th and 14 September every year. The church of Aghioi Apostoloi was built in 1427. It is one of the Byzantine churches of the area worth visiting. ==References==
