Hello! My husband and I plan on hiking the Valley of the Gods in early November. We want to get a taxi from Litochoro to Prionia, so that we can hike down in elevation. The internet is telling me that taxi ride would cost us about "US $1,900–2,300"... something is obviously wrong. Please help. Please point me in the right direction. Thank you!

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask if someone knows whether its possible to get online acces to the ottoman census (nufus defter) of macedonia?

Spent 5 days in Skopje. Chilled and loved it. Came to Ohrid today. Rested a bit and walked out to this. I’ve been around the Balkans for a couple months now. It’s made me a better person. Was only going to spend 3 nights here. I’m now thinking a couple extra days would be good. If you see an old “American” looking guy that looks like some kid in a candy store that may be me. My kids are all grown and left the house. My first time traveling by myself. Amazed at the world.

From Rebecca West's Black Lamb and Grey Falcon (this visit ca. 1937):

"The road fell from the pass through a rocky gorge, sordid at first with rockfalls, which widened out into the valley that I had remembered as one of the loveliest things I had ever seen, where steep hillsides, far apart enough to be seen, fell again and again into the shapes that Earth would take if she found pleasure in herself and what she grows. Voluptuously the beechwoods stretch up to the snow, the grasslands down to the streams, the crags with their poplars and ashes come forward like the elbows of a yawning woman. There is a village on these hillsides which I think the most beautiful I have ever seen, anywhere in the world. It is called the Sorrowing Women, a name which, in a countryside where tragedy has till now been the common lot, must mark some ghastly happening. White houses, bluish white, all built tall, like towers, and yet like houses, with grey-brown roofs, stand on a ledge below the snow and beechwoods, and around them grow ashes and poplars and below a lawn falls to the river. There is one minaret. A path winds down through the lawn. The village has a unity like a person, one is disappointed that it cannot speak, that one cannot enter into any relation with it, that one must go away and leave it."

I cannot find this village on Google maps, or nothing with a name that translates to "The Sorrowing Women" anyway. I guess it could be long gone, but maybe it has a new name. Could it be Vrbjani? It has a single minaret and the houses are all multi-storied, though I guess they look a bit newer than 1937. Anyone have an idea?

Hey friends! I started a new part time job at night and there is an olderman from Macedonia there. I’ve been chatting with him and asking him how to say certain things. Today he taught me to say thanks like: Spu-cee-buh(my Phonetic spelling lol)

Is this correct because I can’t find anything online about it.

I want to show my friends a picture of what I ate but I can't find any results (Like oviach but the other name for that is karagorgeva)

Hi all, My partner and I have been planning a trip to Macedonia from 23rd-31st December. We are planning on doing 3 nights in Skopje, 2/3 nights in ohrid and 2/3 nights somewhere else.

I am interested in the Matka Canyon but have not figured out transport accomodation etc. We are flying in and out of Skopje and we will be relying on public transport / flixbus to take us to different places. We like nature, ancient architecture, sightseeing. We are not into winter sports.

Please help us fill the gap and streamline our itinerary. Any recommendation of restaurant or advice for the places noted is highly appreciated. Also, are there any activities that our must do and can be done in these places during december?

Thank you for your time.

Hi. I was in Ohrid last week on a business trip. In the local cantina I had a dish that was made from grated potatoes and white cabbage. It was really delicious. Is there a name for that?

At the time, Mark was walking the "High Scardus Trail", a hiking trail that leads from Kosovo via Albania to North Macedonia. On Monday, September 9, 2024, he arrived at the hiker's cabin "Alp Stanet e Hinoskes" in Peshkopi in Albania, where he stayed until the morning of Wednesday, September 11, 2024. He then walked on, presumably towards the villages of Bitouché and Modrič in North Macedonia.

Mark is 1m82 tall and skinny. He has blue eyes and short, gray hair.

He was wearing a blue jacket and was carrying a backpack and a green tent. (Jacket, backpack and tent can be seen in the photos.)

Anyone who may have seen Mark on the trail or who can provide information to locate him is asked to contact the police. If you are going to walk the hiking trail "High Scardus Trail" yourself, please be attentive and if you notice anything, report it to the police. Every tip can be important.

Hello everyone!

My mom and I are planning to visit Skopje in mid-October from Istanbul, and I’d love to get some recommendations. First of all, I’m a vegetarian, so it's important for me to find restaurants with vegetarian options. If you have any suggestions for places where both my mom and I can enjoy authentic Macedonian food, please share! Additionally, I’m a fine arts student and would like to visit some art museums. My mom enjoys cultural activities as well, so any museum recommendations would be appreciated. Lastly, my mom is interested in visiting Bitola. What do you recommend for transportation? Should we take a train, or would it be better to rent a car? Since my mom is 64 years old and can't walk for long distances, I want to make sure she doesn't get too tired and can enjoy everything.

I’m looking forward to your answers. Thank you so much in advance!

Hi, American tourist visiting Macedonia... My party and I are going to get tattoos in Ohrid in a couple of days and I was wondering if we should tip our artist.

We understand there is a huge cultural difference between our two countries when it comes to tipping. But we also greatly appreciate the artist squeezing us in for an appointment before we left. So, what do you all recommend?

Thank you! (We are loving our trip in Macedonia!)

Hello beautiful people! I'm coming next week and don't have who to spend time with, anyone down to meet up and talk? I'm interested in learning Macedonian and the culture and everything! We can talk about anything. The city I'm visiting is Bitola and I'm 19 years old so I'm looking for people around my age to talk to.

Dear r/macedonia, we are fortunately visiting Skopje for the 4th time, one week. Are there any good shops somebody can recommend for PC gaming gear and equipment like keyboard and mouse in the city?

Can you recommend me alternative rock music or bands in macedonia?
