Destination Information for Macedonia

Macedonia is situated in the Balkan Peninsula of Southeast Europe and is one of the successor states of Yugoslavia. Its outstanding attraction is Ohrid, which sits on the edge of the tranquil Lake Ohrid. The old quarter of this resort city is full of magnificent churches and the remains of a medieval castle, while the cobblestone streets are lined with traditional restaurants and cafes.

Pelister National Park is another exhibition of Macedonia’s natural beauty, where eight peaks are higher than 2,000 metres. Two glacial lakes– known as ‘Pelister’s Eyes’– are found at the top of Mount Pelister, with hiking trails encouraging tourists to scale the mountain to see them first-hand. The area is also steeped in biodiversity and is home to a plethora of wildlife, including deer, eagles and the rare five-leafed molika pine tree.
