Encyclopedia > Strouma river

The Struma (Bulgarian: Струма, Greek: Strimonis, Turkish: Karasu (meaning "black water" in Turkish)) is a river in Bulgaria and Greece. Its ancient name was Strymon.


The Struma rises in the Vitosha Mountains of Bulgaria and flows about 400 kilometers south to the Aegean Sea. The valley is a coal-producing area of Bulgaria.


The ancient Greek city of Amphipolis was founded at the river's entrance to the Aegean, and the Battle of Kleidion was fought by the river in 1014.

I don't know offhand whether most of the river flows through Bulgaria, but it probably does and it seems that the native term is taking over the ancient one.
Actually there're 218 results for Strymon river and 352 for Struma river.
Struma rises in Bulgaria, and the article should be Struma River.
