Pindus Mountains

East of the Eordaia basin, the Vermio range rises between the inland lakes and the plains of Naousa and Veroia. Its northern foothills reach Lake Vegoritida, while the Aliakmonas separates it from the Pieria mountains to the south. A broad wooded valley divides the range, and beech forests grow towards the upper forest line. Limestone and schist form much of the mountain, whose ridges stand above the cultivated country on either side.
