Central Macedonia
Κεντρική Μακεδονία
Central Macedonia is anchored by Thessaloniki, widely treated as the food capital of Greece, and by Halkidiki, whose three peninsulas hold much of the country's mainland beach tourism.
Inland are Pella, Veria, Naoussa and Edessa, and to the south Mount Olympus rises straight out of the Pierian coast.
