Skopje, city of monuments

Skopje city center is under huge reconstruction. All buildings are stylized in the style of ancient Greece/Macedonia. But not in the stone, but just with use of modern light material used for building supermarkets. There is also lots of huge sculptures and fountains. You can feel a bit like in a movie set for the film about Alexander the great. Children should like it. It is recommended to walk through the center, for more fun you can e.g. geocaching.

Alexander the great

Vrv Magaro 2264 m, Ohrid area

Nice hiking, suitable also for children. Beautiful views on the both lakes: Ohrid and Prespa. Marking the route is very good. You may be expected to buy for the entrance to the Galichica National Park (in the morning). If you are lazy to hike in the mountains it is still recommended to go by car (or motorbike) to the starting point ( on the way are amazing views).
