The Vardar is the longest river in the Republic of Macedonia, flowing 388 km from its source near Gostivar to its outlet in the Aegean Sea near Thessaloniki, Greece. It drains an area of around 25,000 square kilometers and has several tributaries including the Boshava, Lepenac, Treska, Pinja, and Bregalnica rivers. The river valley comprises fertile lands and is an important transportation route, though pollution from industry and agriculture have become issues in recent decades.
