Archangelos (Greek: Αρχάγγελος) (Megleno-Romanian: Ossiani; South Slavic: Oshin)[1] is a town and part of the Exaplatanos municipality in the Pella Prefecture of Macedonia, Greece, near Aridaia. Originally, the inhabitants of the town speak Megleno-Romanian, though nowadays Greek is spoken more often. The town is known for its monastery of Saint Michael, in which many monks occupy themselves with the painting of icons. The inhabitants of Archangelos mainly make their living out of the cultivation of cherries. The town is not widely known among tourists, though there are a few B&B's, shops and bars.
