Zhivojno
Among the settlements of the Florina regional unit, Meliti stands out for its position on the broad Pelagonia plain near Greece’s northern frontier. Known historically as Neveska, the village adopted the name Meliti in 1926, reflecting the changing names and identities of this western Macedonian borderland. Low-rise homes with tiled roofs and cultivated plots give the settlement a distinctly rural form, while the surrounding plain opens towards the mountains framing the Florina basin. Florina, the regional centre, lies to the southeast. Meliti’s streets reflect everyday village life rather than a resort setting, with houses, small local businesses and farmland closely interwoven. Its setting is characteristic of the agricultural communities on the Greek side of Pelagonia.

Municipality of Novaci has served as a frontier district within North Macedonia’s southern borderlands since the early 20th century. It extends south of Bitola across the Pelagonia plain toward the Greek border, where the Crna River and open farmland give way to the rugged slopes of the Nidže range. Kajmakčalan, on the border ridge, is associated with fighting on the Macedonian Front in the First World War. The municipality also reaches into Mariovo, a sparsely settled upland area whose stone-built settlements and pastoral traditions contrast with the cultivated plain.

The Vardar River valley defines much of North Macedonia — its route through the country has concentrated farms, roads and major towns between mountain ranges. Lake Ohrid, shared with Albania, gives the southwest a different character: an ancient lake beside the historic city of Ohrid and its UNESCO-listed natural and cultural heritage. Skopje, the capital, combines the Ottoman-era Old Bazaar with newer districts on both sides of the Vardar. Elsewhere, the Šar Mountains, Mavrovo National Park and the Pelister range frame a compact country of highland pastures, forests and agricultural basins. Food traditions draw on Balkan and Mediterranean influences, with peppers, beans and local wines prominent.
