Macedonia, Historical region in northern Greece
Macedonia spans 34,177 square kilometers across northern Greece, encompassing mountains, valleys, and coastal areas between the Pindus range and Aegean Sea.
The ancient Kingdom of Macedonia under Alexander the Great expanded from this region to create one of the largest empires in classical history.
The regional traditions combine influences from Greek, Albanian, Turkish, and Aromanian cultures in food preparation, musical styles, and seasonal celebrations.
Visitors can explore Mount Olympus, the archaeological site of Pella, and the metropolitan center of Thessaloniki through organized tours and local transportation.
The Macedonian region contains the remains of Aigai, the first capital of the ancient kingdom, with its royal burial ground and golden artifacts.
