The area around the towns of Nevrokopi and Lefkogia forms two small plains around 500 meters high, which are surrounded on all sides by mountains: To the south and west, the Vrondous Mountains and Menikio shield the area from the Strymonas plain The Falakro Nevrokopi mountain range, which rises to an altitude of 2,229 meters, separates the south and east from the plain of the upper Angistis , where Drama is also located. This western part of the municipality drains into the Strymonas , near Lefkogia there is a small reservoir with Lake Lefkogia . The eastern part of the municipality is located in the Nestos river system, which is dammed several times. The upper section of the Thissavros reservoir is located in the municipality, with the much smaller Potami reservoir immediately above it.
