Katakonozi (Greek: Κατακονόζι) is a neighborhood in Serres, Greece.[1]

According to local legend, the Byzantine family of 'Kantakouzinos' once possessed the land that now belongs to the neighborhood.

At the end of the 20th century, it was established as a location for the housing of immigrants from former Soviet bloc countries, and has more recently become a hotspot for real estate development projects. As a result, the neighborhood has undergone unprecedented expansion. The neighborhood was the site of a pilot project in Serres to improve mixed waste collection among the densely populated area with many detached houses that had made effective collection difficult in previous years.[2]
