Variko

Variko (Greek: Βαρικό, before 1926: Μόκραινα – Mokraina;[2] Bulgarian/Macedonian: Мокрени) is a village and a former community in Florina regional unit, West Macedonia, Greece.

There is an annual bean festival on August 15, coinciding with the Dormition of Virgin.

[5] In the beginning of 19th century Francois Pouqueville noted Mocrena as one of the Bulgarian villages in the region.

[9] After the Treaty of Bucharest in 1913, when the area became part of Greece, many people emigrated to Bulgaria.

After the defeat of Greece by Nazi Germany in April 1941 in the village was formed a club of the Bulgaro-Macedonian Central Committee and in 1943 a detachment of the Bulgarian paramilitary organization Ohrana.
