Florina
Few places in Western Macedonia have a history as closely tied to Aromanian pastoral life as Drosopigi. Set on the wooded slopes of Mount Verno in the Florina area, this mountain settlement belongs to a region shaped by upland routes and small, closely built communities. Drosopigi was known as Belkamen until 1926, when it received its present Greek name. Its Aromanian, or Vlach, heritage remains central to the village’s identity. Tile-roofed houses, stone boundary walls and streets that follow the incline give the settlement a compact hillside form. It stands apart from the larger town of Florina as a rural community defined by the Verno range rather than an urban centre.

Florina lies along the Sakoulevas River, in a high inland valley framed by the mountains of western Macedonia. River walks and broad streets give the regional capital a measured, everyday rhythm, while its proximity to the borders with North Macedonia and Albania has long placed it at a crossroads of the Balkans. The Archaeological Museum of Florina preserves discoveries from the wider area, connecting the modern town to Macedonia’s deep antiquity. West of the city, the Prespa basin brings lakes and wetland habitats into the regional map; winter conditions here are notably colder than in much of Greece.

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.
