Belasica (
Macedonian and, also transliterated as
Belasitsa or
Belasitza;,
Béles, or Κερκίνη,
Kerkíni) is a mountain range in the region of
Macedonia in
Southeastern Europe, shared by northwestern
Greece (about 45%), southeastern
Republic of Macedonia (35%) and southwestern
Bulgaria (20%). The area is particularly famous for the
Battle of Kleidion of 1014, which proved crucial for the fall of the
First Bulgarian Empire.
The mountain range is about 60
km long and 7 to 9 km wide and is situated just northeast of
Dojran Lake. The highest point is
Radomir Peak (Kalabak) at 2,029
m, with elevation otherwise ranging between 300 and 1900 m above sea level. The climate in the area shows strong
Mediterranean influence.
The area of Belasica became a
euroregion in 2003. Two football teams are named after the mountain range,
PFC Belasitsa from the nearby Bulgarian town of
Petrich and
FC Belasica from
Strumica in the Republic of Macedonia.
