Voras Mountains, Mountain range between North Macedonia and Greece
The Voras Mountains are a mountain range between North Macedonia and Greece, composed of several parallel chains. The Kaimaktsalan peak is the highest point, and the range extends across both countries with varied terrain suitable for different seasons.
The mountains gained strategic importance during World War I, with the Battle of Kaimaktsalan in 1916 being a pivotal moment. The peak of Profitis Ilias played a key role in the military operations of that period.
The traditional villages scattered across the range, like Agios Athanasios, have shaped how people live in these highlands. Today they serve as gateways to explore the mountains while offering glimpses of how communities adapt to mountain life.
The Kaimaktsalan Ski Center operates during the winter months and offers multiple slopes for different skill levels. In warmer seasons, the mountains are suitable for hiking and nature exploration with good trail access throughout the range.
The thermal springs of Loutra Pozar flow through natural rock formations with consistent temperatures throughout the year. This natural feature is a rare combination where mountain visitors can also enjoy warm mineral waters.
