Gevgelija




Europe is one of the five inhabited traditional continents of the Earth. Physically and geologically, Europe is the westernmost peninsula of Eurasia, west of Asia. Europe is bounded to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and to the southeast by the waterways adjoining the Mediterranean to and including the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains. On the east, Europe is divided from Asia by the water divide of the Ural Mountains and by the Caspian Sea. Europe is the world's second-smallest continent in terms of area and third-largest continent after Asia and Africa in population.
 
Gevgelija is a town with a population of 20,362 and is located in the very southeast of the Republic of Macedonia along the banks of the Vardar River, situated at the country's main border with Greece, the point which links the motorway from Skopje and three other former Yugoslav capitals include Belgrade, Zagreb and Ljubljana with Thessaloniki.
 
The town is also a centre for raising silkworms, an integral part of the country's silk trade. Alongside its agriculture, Gevgelija's economy consists of a light industry sector.
