The
oldest traces of human existence from the Paleolithic era were
discovered at the Cave of Petralona in Chalkidiki, where a fossilized
head of a Neanderthal man was found. Ever since that time, Macedonia has
been at the epicentre of history, power, and wealth, not to mention art
and the simple life. This is a region of fertile plains crossed by many
rivers, some of which bear gold dust. It also has more ecologically
interesting lakes than any other part of Greece. The Macedonian
mountains were chosen by the gods as their dwelling place, and on their
highest peak, Olympos, the ruler of the gods set his throne. |
