by shrimp56

Be sure to visit Lake Ohrid. The town, its monuments and the lake are UNESCO World Heritage sites. Among the sites to see is the monastery church, Sveti Jovan Kaneo. It was featured in the Macedonian film 'Before the Rain.' Sharing a glass of rakija with the the woman who is the guide at the church. She remembered me from before -- and now that I can speak a little Macedonian we've become 'rakija friends'!

by Orbital

EPISTLEWithout your Tyre and Sidonlife has been going on here for thousand yearsand it will continue.We the people are like grass-trampled on, drying up, suffocating, dying.Only the land remains.We the people are like ants-crushed, exterminated and yet still proliferating.Once the expedition to the Indus set off from here,who would have thought it?Along the Via Egnatia, Cicero walked into exile in Salonica.Near DramaCaesar's shade appeared to Brutusunder the tenton the eve of the decisive battle.Then there were 15 martyrsmade Saints in Tiberiopolis.Naum had a monasterybuilt at the springs of the white lake.This land gave life to King Marko, too.And yethas it not been brought low many a time?What was the price of maturity?Everything is foretold-we are to leave,the LAND remains.Blaze Koneski

Grave Markers in Tetsovo

by Roadquill

The grave markers in Tetsove near mosques and in a Dervish Monastery are very striking in their design. Almost all were circular, and many went from narrow bases to wider, carved tops.

Language

by a5floor

The language from Macedonia doesn't make any sense to other people from the West. But when you are in Macedonia, try at least a few words to speak. The Macedonian people will appreciate that!
