Roumlouki


Roumlouki or Kampania, is the traditional name of the northeastern part of Imathia, specifically the plain of the lower Aliakmon River.

Location

The term refers to the lowlands between the Pierian Mountains in the south to the wetlands of the Giannitsa Lake in the north, and from the heights east of Veroia to the mouths of the rivers Aliakmon and Loudias in the Thermaic Gulf. According to some accounts, the name extended up to the Axios River in the northeast.
