Discover la Macédoine du Nord
Lots of mountains, a complicated history, varied populations... No doubt about it, this is the Balkans, the "land of blood and honey". Northern Macedonia is still largely unknown to the general public. Most of the tourists here are... the locals themselves, those who have left to live all over the world and return for weddings, vacations or retirement. The few Western travellers who venture here discover grandiose landscapes, wild nature, churches adorned with sumptuous medieval frescoes, mosques lost in the mountains, well-preserved old Ottoman towns, isolated villages with welcoming inhabitants and the astonishing capital, Skopje, completely rebuilt after a major earthquake in 1963. Here are a few pages to help you understand this small country, as complicated as it is endearing.
