Longest river of Greece: 297 km (184 miles). From a source on the PINDHOS Mountains, it carves narrow gorges through the highlands of MACEDONIA, and is dammed to generate hydroelectric energy at the Aliakmon Barrage (built in 1973) before emptying into the Aegean Sea.
"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page", St. Augustine said. Here at www.travel-university.org we believe that every page must be read and explored. Travel is an avenue of learning that no text or classroom can teach. The world is a living classroom and you the student. We invite you to the www.travel-university.org library where you can read general interest and detail oriented articles.
