Visit Northeastern

The Northeastern region of North Macedonia is home to some of the country's most exciting attractions. Tourists can visit Ohrid, one of Europe's oldest cities and the jewel in North Macedonia's crown. Ohrid offers breathtaking lake scenery as well as an array of ancient churches, monasteries and museums. The famous Kratovo town is situated nearby, with its unique Ottoman architecture and cobblestone streets - a must-see for any visitor to the region.

Another popular destination is Stip; known for its historical sites such as Czar Samoil's Fortress, Bardovci Monastery and Bitola - birthplace to Mother Teresa. It was in this city that culture and tradition were preserved during a series of historic occupations by different empires throughout history - a fact which makes it all the more interesting for sightseers today! Finally, don't forget to explore peaceful Mavrovo National Park where you can take part in activities like rafting or mountain biking amongst lush green mountains.

An interesting historical fact about Northeastern North Macedonia is that it was once ruled by Alexander The Great between 336-323 B.C., when his Macedonian Empire stretched across much of Europe into Asia Minor granting him control over these lands until his death in 323 B.C..
