Gallikos (river)
The 883rd longest river in the world
The Gallikos is a river in Central Macedonia, Greece. It was known as the Echedoros in antiquity and the Gomaropnichtis in the Middle Ages. The current name probably derives from the ancient Roman colony of Callicum (modern Kilkis) near the river. It rises in the Krousia Mountain and flows into the Aegean Sea in the Thermaic Gulf, near Sindos. It is 70 km (43 mi) long. Its drainage basin is 1,055 km2 (407 sq mi).
