Pella is the center of the ancient Macedonian kingdom where one of the most famous Greeks born, Alexander the Great. Through the ages Pella was influenced of many different cultures (Roman, Byzantine, Gothic, Slavic, Ottoman and other) while in 1923 Greeks from around Balkans and Asia Minor established here.
This mosaic of different Greek cultures makes this part of Central Macedonia in the Northern Greece one of the most interesting places with reference to traditional dances and music in Greece.
In the villages around the town of Giannitsa we find a variety of Greek traditions: Macedonian, Pontian, Thracian, Vlach, Cappadocian, Western Asia Minor and other
