Republic of Macedonia , close to the border withGreece . It is located at around coord|41|12|11|N|22|34|32|E, and is a seat of theBogdanci municipality .Location
The space of the Gevgelian ravine that comprise the space of the Bogdanci field is located in the south and the south east part of
Republic of Macedonia . A part of the ravine is inGreece . The region is in the down flow of the riverVardar . At the first side this space location gives you an impression of reticence because of its kampong with the local hills. There is Kozhuf, the mountain on west, some hills on north, the mountainsBelasica and Kara Balija on east and on south it’s open toGreece . This location has a vantage point as for the disposition of the space and the traffic connection. The vintage point of Bogdanci in the Gevgelian valley is good. It’s on some 80-90 meters attitude above the sea level. There is the expressway E-75 on some 9 km (5.265 miles) on the west side, it’s 10 km (6.25 miles) far away from the center ofGevgelija , 7 km (4.375 miles) from the Macedonian – Greek border and 5 km (3.125 miles) from the riverVardar . TheDojran Lake andDojran are on some 20 km (12.5 miles) on east of Bogdanci. There are some roads passing through the Geveglian – Bogdanci’s field, connecting Bogdanci withGevgelija , Stojakovo, Gjavoto and the expressway E-75. The road that connects Bogdanci withDojran ,Strumica andValandovo passes through the valley of the river Paljurska. This road connectsGevgelija andDojran . In the past the road that connectGevgelija withAegean Macedonia was very frequent. Bogdanci’s good geographical position in the ravine, the traffic importance and the economic function in the region are the reasons that Bogdanci was and still is a dynamic hearth for the gravitation of the settlements from the Dojran’s and Gevgelian ravines. In the past the traffic was not developed enough and that’s why the relief was the main factor for the intensity of the gravitation occupy in some ways. Most villages of the region that were well connected with Bogdanci gravitated in every sphere with it. Stojakovo, Gjavoto, Bogorodica, Furka, Crnichani were the villages that gravitated well with Bogdanci, and from the other side Bogdanci gravitated well withThessaloniki the center of Macedonia in that time. Today with the development of the ravine’s centerGevgelija the gravitation occupy of Bogdanci is shrank.Demographics
There are 6,011 residents in the town of Bogdanci.
Geographical Information
Climate
The city mainly experiences a
mediterranean climate that enters by the riverVardar and the valley from theAegean Sea . TheMediterranean climate has more influence in the summer and less in the winter, which allows temperatures to become rather cold in the winter. The city receives fairly little rain, strong winds, and sometimes small amounts of snow during the winter.Temperature

During the summer we are witnesses of the extremely high temperatures, and during the winter we can see the opposite, there are extremely low temperaturesRains
The quantity of rainfall during the year is relatively small, between 600-750 mm. The reasons for this are the geographical position(the place where Bogdanci is located), the distance from the sea, the temperatures and the frequently winds are the most important factor for this little quantity of rain, because they clear the clouds of the sky. November and December are also known as months of the rain. During the summer (June, July, August and September the quantity of rain is the smallest for the whole year). From this we can see that the rainfall is bigger during the vegetation and it goes down when the vegetation is gone, which is pretty bad for the agriculture. The snow (fall) is less than the rainfall. There are around 9 days during the whole year, that the snow cover stays on the earth. The part of the snow in the entire quantity of rainfall() is 7.5%.
