Aridaia

Where Greece begins , 100 km northwest of Thessaloniki and 530 km from Athens, in the shadow of Mount Paiko and Voras is the Aridaia. The Aridea belongs to the province of Almopia, a rich agricultural region, with continental climate (relatively mild winter and cool in summer).

The Aridea is the economic and administrative center of Almopia and seat of the municipality. The town of Pozar is a modern, vibrant city of about eleven thousand inhabitants and with a strong cultural movement.

In addition to rich agricultural production, animal husbandry and forestry, major engine of economic growth for the region is tourism. Understandably also, as Almopia gathers natural beauty and popular tourist destinations and offers visitors a wide range of tourist activities (skiing, hiking, trekking tourism, mountaineering and climbing, spa tourism, rural tourism, etc.).
