Makrochori: Μακροχώρι Ημαθίας
Makrochori has served as an agricultural settlement on the Imathia plain of Central Macedonia since the 20th century. It lies south of Veria, where productive lowland meets the lower slopes of the Vermio Mountains; the Aliakmon River crosses the plain farther south. Orchards and field cultivation have long shaped the economy in this part of northern Greece, while red-tiled homes and everyday local services give Makrochori a residential character. The wider area carries major Macedonian heritage: Vergina, the site of ancient Aigai, the first capital of the Macedonian kingdom, also stands within Imathia. Makrochori belongs to a settled rural belt rather than an isolated mountain community.

Makrochori sits at the foot of the Vitsi Mountains in Western Macedonia, Greece, where farmland spreads across a high inland basin. This is part of the Kastoria regional unit, a quiet northern Greek borderland shaped by seasonal agriculture and mountain weather. Kastoria, to the south, is known for its long fur-making tradition and for Byzantine-era churches around Lake Orestiada. Roads through the area connect small settlements with the larger towns of western Macedonia, while the surrounding slopes signal the approach to the Pindus mountain country.

The terrain of Epirus and Western Macedonia ranges from the Ionian coastal plains of western Epirus to the mountain basins of Western Macedonia in the east, giving this northwestern Greek region a strongly continental interior. The Pindus range runs through its heart, while the Aoos River cuts through rugged country near Konitsa. In Zagori, stone-built settlements and arched bridges form a cultural landscape inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2023. Ioannina, beside Lake Pamvotida, adds a major urban counterpoint, with a walled old quarter shaped by Byzantine and Ottoman periods.

Greece occupies a mountainous peninsula and island-dotted coastline in southeastern Europe. The Aegean Sea shapes its eastern shore, while the Ionian Sea lies to the west; Crete is the country’s largest island. Athens is anchored by the Acropolis, where the Parthenon has stood since the fifth century BCE as a defining monument of classical antiquity. Beyond the capital, the Pindus Mountains run through the mainland, and Mount Olympus is associated in ancient Greek religion with the home of the gods. Greek food traditions centre on olive oil, seafood, cheeses and regional dishes, with long meals remaining an important part of social life.
