Crestonia

Crestonia (or Crestonice) (Greek: Κρηστωνία) was an ancient region immediately north of Mygdonia.

The Echeidorus river, which flowed through Mygdonia into the Thermaic Gulf, had its source in Crestonia.

It was partly occupied by a remnant of the Pelasgi, who spoke a different language from their neighbors (Thracians and Paeonians); later the Greeks.

At the time of the invasion of Xerxes I of Persia, Crestonia was ruled by an independent Thracian prince (Herodotus, 8.

Today, ancient Crestonia is comprehended within the regional units of Kilkis and Thessaloniki (northern part) in Greece.
