Nymfaio

Nymfaio (Greek: Νυμφαίο, before 1926: Νέβεσκα – Neveska;[2] Aromanian: Nevesca) is a village and a former community in Florina regional unit, Western Macedonia, Greece.

[5] The name of the town in Aromanian (Vlach) is Nevesca from the ancient Greek (Doric) νυφεοσσ´[citation needed], meaning snowy, snowclad.

Nymfaio, or Neveska as it was called then, was settled around 1385 by Vlach travellers, who fled into the mountains after heavy battles with the Ottomans.

Furthermore, people from Neveska moved to places in eastern Macedonia, including Ano Poroia, Kato Tzoumagia, Alistrati, Nigrita, Serres and others.

[7] Nymfaio hosts a Museum of Gold and Silver-smithery, Folklore, and History, inaugurated in 2000 and located in a traditional building in the centre of the village.
