Rodonas: Variko
Variko sits at the foot of wooded hills in Greece’s Florina regional unit, where a compact settlement of tiled-roof homes gathers around local streets and a small central square. It belongs to Western Macedonia, an inland part of northern Greece close to the frontiers with Albania and North Macedonia. The village has the close-knit scale of a rural community rather than a town: houses and public spaces stand within a short distance of one another, with forested slopes immediately beyond the built-up area. Terracotta roofs, pale plastered façades and a street-centred layout give the settlement a recognisably northern Greek character. Variko forms part of the wider Florina area, whose villages reflect the agricultural and mountain life of Macedonia.

Tucked into the inland uplands of western Macedonia near Lake Vegoritida, Rodonas is a place whose character is shaped by the region’s continental climate and agricultural surroundings. It lies in the wider Florina area, where cold winters and warm, dry summers influence daily life and farming. Nearby Amyntaio is internationally associated with PDO wine production, particularly Xinomavro, linking this quiet settlement to one of northern Greece’s established wine regions.

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.
