River in Greece From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gallikos (Greek: Γαλλικός) is a river in Central Macedonia, Greece. It was known as the Echedoros (Εχέδωρος) in antiquity and the Gomaropnichtis (Γομαροπνίχτης) in the Middle Ages. The current name probably derives from the ancient Roman colony of Callicum (modern Kilkis) near the river.
