Experiencing the varied appeal of Macedonian cuisine

Booking a holiday home in Macedonia will also allow you to try its unique and delicious range of food options. As a Balkan nation, the gastronomy of Macedonia is influenced by Southern European and Middle Eastern cuisines with a distinct Turkish flair. In addition to the Old Bazaar, the area around the Centre of Macedonia Plaza is a brilliant hub for great local restaurants.

Although Macedonia is a compact nation, it contains a great many sprawling vineyards which grow grapes for its national wines. Its excellent varieties have been appreciated since Roman times and include the popular Vranec reds and the fruity Kratosijas.

Exploring the ancient culture of Macedonia

Macedonia was historically tied to the Kingdom of Macedon, ruled by the epic leader Alexander the Great in the fourth century BC. There’s an enormous statue and ornate fountain dedicated to this great ruler in the Centre of Skopje Plaza.

You’ll learn more about ancient Macedonian history at the many expansive museums in Skopje. These include the Museum of Macedonia and the Museum of the City of Skopje. The Archaeological Museum of Macedonia is also well worth visiting. It's housed in a stunning classical building on the banks of the Vardar River.

For an experience that combines the ancient heart of this enticing city and the hub of its modern commerce, visit the Old Bazaar at the foot of Kale Fortress. It’s a great place to appreciate some of the city’s most beautiful architecture and grab a bite to eat in one of the local cafés or restaurants. These will all be readily accessible from your holiday apartment in this compact and richly cultural city.

Exploring Macedonia beyond Skopje

Macedonia contains great cities in addition to the capital, such as Ohrid with its lake resort and the buzzing town of Bitola, Macedonia’s second largest city. They’re all accessible a short drive from the capital in this small country.

You can also book a tour to hike or cycle in Solunska Glava, the astoundingly beautiful mountain range just to the north of Skopje. It’s the nation’s highest peak, and you’ll also be able to book tours which include provision of food. Departure points are available from Skopje, Bitola and Ohrid.
