Why you should visit Macedonia?

While easily accessible from all points abroad, and boasting all the amenities of the Western world, Macedonia remains one of Europe’s last great undiscovered countries: a natural paradise of mountains, lakes and rivers, where life moves to a different rhythm, amidst the sprawling grandeur of rich historical ruins and idyllic villages that have remained practically unchanged for centuries.

Macedonia is a region that contains a great historical – geographical value, in southeastern Europe, in the south central part of the Balkan Peninsula and also has a magnificent past, and is a land full of historic treasures from more successive civilizations spanning 5,000 years. Many civilzations governed the region: Thracians, Yllirians, ancient Macedonians, Dardanians, Romans, Byzantines, the Macedonian Slavs (Sclavinae) and the Ottoman Turks.

All of them left numerious marks in Macedonia. Even if you spend only a short time in Macedonia, you can see a lot of this great heritage. Every stone in Macedonia has it’s own history, while the country is dotted with beautiful Orthodox churches, monasteries, Ottoman mosques, as well as many ancient towns and the first Slavic university in the world.

Macedonians and the rest of the minorities living here, no matter how different, have one thing in common: the friendly and hospitable people of this unique country. They have rich cultural life, followed by their tradition and customs and the faith to God.
