Amyntaio

Amyntaio (Greek: Αμύνταιο, before 1928: Σόροβιτς – Sorovits;[2] Bulgarian: Суровичево, Сорович), is a town and municipality in the Florina regional unit of Macedonia, Greece.

[1] The town is named after the ancient king of Macedon, and father of Philip II and grandfather of Alexander the Great, Amyntas III.

[3] The Church of St. Konstantinos and Helen was declared a hazard to public safety and demolished with tanks in the late twentieth century.

[5][6] A 7,300-year-old home with a timber floor, remnants of food supplies and blackberry seeds are among the findings in a Neolithic settlement near the lakes of Vegoritida, Petres, Heimatitida and Zazari.

Garments, women's fashions and burial customs in northern Eordaia 3,000 years ago are coming to light among the hundreds of funeral offerings in a forgotten necropolis dating from the Iron Age in western Macedonia.
