Who was greece's northern neighbor?

Greece has had several different northern neighbors at different periods of time. In Ancient History, the northern neighbor of Greece was MACEDONIA. Greece was later conquered by successive empires (the Macedonians, the Romans/Byzantines, and Ottomans). When Greece became independent again, its first neighbor to the north was the OTTOMAN EMPIRE. Eventually, Greece conquered Ottoman-controlled northern Greece (Thessalia, Epirus, Macedonia, etc.) and now, Greece's northern border has ALBANIA, MACEDONIA (former Yugoslavia), and BULGARIA.
