Macedonia Florina Halkidiki Imathia Kastoria Kozani Pieria Thassos Thessaloniki		Macedonia ( [ˌmæsəˈdoʊniə] (help·info); Greek: Μακεδονία, Makedonía, IPA: [makʲe̞ðo̞ˈnia]) is a geographical and historical region of Greece in southeastern Europe. Macedonia is the largest and second most populous Greek region. The region and that of Thrace are often together referred to informally as northern Greece. This northern Greek region incorporates most of the territories of ancient Macedon, the kingdom ruled by the Argeads whose most celebrated members were Alexander the Great and his father Philip II. The name Macedonia was later applied to identify various administrative areas in the Roman and Byzantine Empires with widely differing borders. Under the Ottomans, the name disappeared altogether. Macedonia covers an area of some 34,177 km2 (13,195.8 sq mi). High ground makes up much of the region with mountains reaching up to 2,917 metres (9,570 ft); extensive fertile plains lie along the Aegean Sea coast. Macedonia is traversed by the valleys of the Aliakmon, Axios, Nestos, and Strymonas rivers, all of which drain into the Aegean. Greek Macedonia borders the countries of Albania, the independent Republic of Macedonia, and Bulgaria, and the Greek regions of Epirus, Thessaly and Thrace. The offshore island of Thasos is within the precincts of Macedonia; together with Samothrace, they belong to the region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace (Ανατολική Μακεδονία και Θράκη).[19] The region has a population of 2,625,681 and its capital and largest city is Thessaloniki, with a city population of around 363,987, and a metropolitan area of around 1 million people.
