The Central Macedonia Periphery (Κεντρική Μακεδονία) is one of the thirteen administrative regions of Greece. It covers 18,811 sq km (7,263 sq mi) in the central region of Macedonia, it is the biggest periphery of Greece.

Mount Athos, which is geographically part of central Macedonia, is however not under the administration of this periphery, rather it is an autonomous self-governing state under Greece.

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
