Before this travel a lot of people asked “Why are you going North Macedonia?”, so I thought I’d give you a selection of pictures of why you should go!
Every where you walked was beautiful, walking on the boardwalk on your way to the Church of Saint Jovan.
Incredible scenes
Exceptional views from Ohrid & Lake Matka
People are really friendly, most people speak English too.
The fresh produce was delicious, my favourite was Ajvar & Baked Beans. However, I would say not there wasn’t that much vegan options in terms of protein selections. I hardly saw any tofu dishes. So that would be my two cents, maybe my eyes weren’t working.
Grab yourself a €15 ticket for the boat tour, this was cheapest one we found and we had a big boat. There are smaller boats but they will charge you more money. €60/€120 on a smaller boat too.
In conclusion I definitely say North Macedonia is a place that you definitely need to tick off. I know there are many other countries in the Balkan region that you might want to go to. But honestly, this is a country you need to visit even if it’s 72 hours of your life.
You’ll be captivated by her landscapes, history, people and so much more.
Also, I didn’t even spend that much money probably £200 spent this is not including travel and accommodation. Just make sure you get a rental car.
I did stay at Lago Hotel & Spa at Ohrid and Nest Suites Fitness&Spa as it was close
