Krinida (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Κρηνίδα) is a village in Serres regional unit of Central Macedonia, Greece, located 48 km southeast of the city of Serres. Since 2011 administrative reform it is a municipal unit of the municipality of Amphipolis and has a population of 573 inhabitants. Until 1958 it was named Vitasta.
About two kilometers north of Krinida, in the sites of “Toumba” or “Palia vouna”, there was a Roman settlement, dependent administratively on the Roman colony of Philippi.[1] in this place was found fragments of Roman pottery and a Latin inscription (of imperial times), which mentions a Roman settler of Philippi. In the place "Palia ecclesia" was also found a Greek votive inscription in the "Hero of Avlonitis" (3rd century AD), where are mentioned Thracian and Roman names.[2] The existence of Thracian population allows the conclusion that the settlement existed before the Roman conquest and belonged to the ancient Edonis.
