Florina, Mountain settlement in northwestern Macedonia, Greece
The city stands at 663 meters elevation, surrounded by the Verno and Varnous mountains near the borders with North Macedonia and Albania.
Following centuries of Ottoman control, Florina became part of Greece in 1913 after the Balkan Wars and witnessed significant population exchanges.
The winter season brings numerous local festivals where residents prepare traditional dishes and celebrate regional customs in the stone-built houses.
The regional market center contains shops selling local agricultural products, including the red Florina peppers recognized throughout Greece.
The temperature in Florina often drops below -10°C during winter months, making it one of the coldest cities in Greece.
