About
The Pangaion Hills (Greek: Παγγαίο, romanized: Pangéo; Ancient Greek: Καρμάνιον, romanized: Karmánion; Homeric Greek: Nysa; also called Pangaeon or Pangaeum) are a mountain range in Greece, about 40 km west of Kavala. The highest elevation is 1,956 m at the peak of Koutra. The Aegean Sea lies to the south and the plains of Philippi–Kavala to the north. The mountain range covers the southeastern portion of the Serres regional unit as well as the northwestern part of the Kavala regional unit, which includes the larger part of the hills.
The Ottoman Turks called the hills Pınar Dağ ("Spring Mount"). The Slavic name is Kushnitsa (Кушница) or Kushinitsa (Кушиница).
