Eordaea (also spelled Eordaia or Eordia, Greek: į¼ĪæĻĪ“Ī±ĪÆĪ±) was a geographical region of Upper Macedonia and later an administrative region of the kingdom of Macedon. Eordaea was located south of Lynkestis, west of Emathia, north of Elimiotis, and east of Orestis. It was incorporated into the Argead kingdom of Macedon earlier than the rest of Upper Macedonia.

The section between the international border and Bitola is not used anymore, and as of 2025 passenger services are restricted to the section between Thessaloniki and Florina. Makedonski Železnici also operates a daily service from Žabeni to Bitola and onwards to Skopje. The easternmost section of the line, PlatyāThessaloniki, is part of the important connection towards Athens and Northern Greece.
