    Yeah, thought you meant Salonika. My mistake. Most people were Slavs, Greek elite class (clergy) and some Christian Albanians.

    Huffington Post: Ten Reasons to Visit Macedonia
    With picturesque villages, a wine region, modest mountains, lovely lakeside resorts,Macedonia is rich in history, gorgeous scenery, a favorable exchange rate, and welcoming people, The Huffington Post reads.

    Rejuvenated after a devastating 1963 earthquake, the capital city Skopje is a charming, cosmopolitan jumping off point. Named this year as one of the NY Times "Fifty Places to Visit in 2015, " the Balkan country which touts links to Alexander the Great offers at least ten great reasons to visit New buildings line the roaring Vardar River crossed by the historic Stone Bridge which links modern shopping malls to the bustling Old Town.
    With a very favorable exchange rate of MKD 50 to the dollar, excellent values add up to luxury hotel rooms priced around USD 50, cafes charging 40-cents for espresso, plentiful taxi rides costing USD 3-USD 5 for city trips, a filling "street food" lunch of a mini-pizza and bottle of beer costing just around a dollar.

    Warm, accommodating, helpful, residents welcome Americans. Macedonian is the official language, but almost everyone speaks at least rudimentary English. You can also get by with German, Italian, Albanian, Bulgarian and Serb.

    From delectable fluffy 25-cent cheese-pastries sold at storefront bakeries to finer dining, local foods are delicious and a good value. A three-course meal is rarely priced over USD 20 per person. Try a Skopsa salad, cucumbers and tomatoes smothered in delicious salty white cheese and don't overlook the little ceramic dishes of baked beans.

    Sourced from its emerging eastern wine region, red and white vintages cost as little as USD 1.20 for minibottles.
    Varying with the season, there are opportunities for swimming, kayaking, skiing, rock climbing, caving, fishing, scuba diving, paragliding, biking, horseback trekking, golf. Right outside Skopje visitors can make the three hour hike up to the 250 foot yellow steel cross at the summit of Mount Vodno.

    Rich in history dating back 6000 years before Alexander the Great, the country offers archeological sites, monuments to battles for freedom, The brand new Archaeological Museum of Macedonia in Skopje traces the country's history, the folk costumes from different regions are displayed at the Museum of Macedonia. One new site is the memorial to Mother Teresa who was born and grew up in Skopje.

    In addition to modern malls and giant Ramsland and Vero supermarkets, outdoor markets such as the almost overwhelming Piz Bazaar in Skopje are stocked with fresh squash, mandarin oranges, hats and pants, bracelets and cosmetics. Browsing is an adventure and bazaar prices are so low that haggling is virtually unnecessary.


    Easily booked online, hotels and hostels are good values. Rates at the modern Bushi Hotel and Spa in Skopje Old Town start around USD 100. A balcony room in the Inex Drim Hotel overlooking Lake Ohrid in Struga is around USD 50.

    After the New Year is ushered in with the Twelfthtide Carnival in Vevcani and the St. Trifun Day wine festival February 14th, the majority of festivals take place in the summer - with a range of options including the Musical Folk Instrument Festival, the International Swimming Marathon, Prilep Pivofest Beer Festival, Illinden Sailing Regatta, Skopje Jazz and International Film Festivals. Unique is the multi-day Galicnik Wedding Festival on St. Peter's Day in July with thousands gathering for a sheep milking contest, pelivan wrestling, feasting, and traditional dancing to celebrate the wedding of a selected happy couple.

    Only in Fyrom do they claim that the Gruevski buildings are historical. Speaks to Gruevski's boundless ego.

    it's still better than anything you can find in albania, kosovo or other such hellholes from which all escape, even the albos who were born there.

    I'm not Albanian, Fyromian here, bruh. Albania has already eclipsed FYROM in economic growth. Tirana will become a nice modern city soon enough while Uskup will remain a Turkish vilayet. At least the Turks have real Greek monuments and ruins, unlike FYROM!
