Mount Pelister is one of the most beautiful mountains on the Balkan Peninsula. There is a legend that The Gods asked Perun (the Slavic god of thunder) why he settled at Mount Korab when there is a much more beautiful mountain to the south. Perun became angry and decided to marry Pelister with Baba Mountain (baba means grandma). So, now Pelister is part of Baba Mountain... http://www.mysticalmacedonia.com/default.aspx?mode=1&id=534&lang=1
The first snow fell in Šar Mountains, the Macedonian media reported. The snow covered the peaks as high as 2,000 meters on Friday, but it did not last for a long time and melted, despite the cold weather. The snow, which fell just before the official end of the summer, and the cold snap took shepherds by surprise. In the Šar Mountains at this time of the year around 20,000 sheep graze and spend the winter in the warmer regions of Macedonia. 22 September 2012 - FOCUS News Agency - http://www.focus-fen.net/?id=n287999
yep Shara is our best mountain for winter sports, only still cant figure out why even today its highest peak is still having titos name [1] tho there was even proposal for his monument on the skopje square that today is crowned with alex on bukefal, nevertheless the peak and the mountain named after him, since ever was known as Shar i.e. Tzar
(Шар,Sar,Šar)
and this epithet can be easily understood if you find yourself there eating TruffleHoney - tip: with it always drink SnowTea while wondering what means the name Shar, definitely you will feel like Tzar from East [1] having own sherpas but here rather modernized...
and again but in context of Shar-wa (sherpa) maybe this name came there from some ancient macedonian tribes that settled as alexanders soldiers around the 'tzar of the mountains' [1][2][3] when beside their customs they carry with them the name Shar, or maybe eventually they brought it here while coming back from their ancient expeditions... anyway Shar mountain (that connects northern Prokletie [1][2] and southern mount Korab [1][2][3]) is very similar to Hindukush as in terrain elevation, so as in the religious mix, tho through the last 50 years muslim word dominated above the orthodox one, but what matters is that there in the mountain can be heard the word of God, normally for those that can and want to listen, it cant be explain differently why there is so much species of butterflies than anywhere in europe [1] I must point out that whole arm of dinaric alps, that as mountain range stretches here from Shar through Korab till Pelister could be called Macedonian Himalaya... believe me the feeling is so unique if you see the scenery with that eyes, even more true when meeting some local buddhists wondering around i.e. those that seeks to drink tea instead coffee while trekking with smile from their buds!
and here comes the real thing, if your being is for a while on right altitude with right words and teas, then you could easily transcendent to the local shangrila i.e. shambala [1] but be aware if there is no one to hold your backpack then you'll probably end flying from some mountain rock, tho even in that case there is always option if you had time to master some paraglider kiting technique e.g. the videos above also be aware not to buy tea herbs from towns, always seek for village stocks, or even better a monastery tea that was gathered and dried with prayer, tho it is always blessing if one is thankful to Lord for every drink and meal that he has through his own prayer!
A thick fog has mistaken me for Saint John, New Brunswick, and rolled into my noggin. But through the jet-lagged haze, I suspect I'm not in Eastern Canada, but Eastern Europe.The first clue is I'm sitting with a man named Zoran Nikolovski. The second is the bowl from which he slurps does not contain Cheerios. "For breakfast, we eat strong soup full of meats," he declares.Yep, definitely Eastern Europe.Nikolovski, an employee of the Macedonian Ministry of Economy, describes himself as a "motorcycle rocker man." Given his long black ponytail and macho swagger that seems accurate.
Ensconced by seven mountains and three rivers, the capital city's setting is surprisingly picturesque. I can't say the same for Skopje itself, which consists mainly of ugly, utilitarian flats that were thrown up after a disastrous earthquake in 1963. There is at least one exception: a brand new museum that pays homage to one of Skopje's hometown celebs, Mother Teresa. "We are proud because she is the only Nobel Prize winner from Macedonia," explains Marina Spirova. Young Macedonians flock to the main pedestrian drag to kick back at outdoor bars with Nescafés (cold coffee drinks) or Skopskos (the national beer). The mood is lively and joyful, barely discernible from any other patio scene around the world. But I quickly gather that Skopje has a split personality. Over the Vardar River sits the Old Bazaar – a predominantly Muslim community and Skopje's most exotic neighbourhood. Nikolovski whisks me through in about 10 minutes, but later I sneak back alone. It is dusty and teeming with kebab shops, jewellers, tailors and roasted nut vendors. In Kapan An, a 15th-century Ottoman trading inn, I am the only customer at Sofra, an Albanian restaurant. This seems odd, as the service is friendly and the food tasty. "Macedonian people are scared to come here, to this side of the city," says shoemaker Aziz Murate, touching upon some of the racial tensions that plague Skopje. By daylight, the area seems safe, even for a lone Canadian girl. But with dusk comes leering and catcalls. And when I notice that a creep in a track suit is following me, it's me that gets the urge to dash. That stalker can't touch me up at St. Pantelemon, a 12th-century monastery that hovers above Skopje on Vodno Mountain. It's lunch at the traditional on-site restaurant where they roast lamb and wild pig on an open fire in the winter. The fumes smack me like Mike Tyson's fist, but I force down some grape Rakia, an aperitif, before tucking into a salad of tomatoes, cucumber and shredded sheep's cheese. Banitsa – a Macedonian interpretation of spanakopita – is next. I am instructed to intermittently eat a spoonful of plain yogurt alongside the flavourful pastry. Other dishes you might encounter include "village meat" (beef, pork and chicken in a tomato and cheese sauce) and "tavche gravche" (a baked bean dish). And carbs, lots of carbs. "We are not eating food without bread," says Nikolovski. Potholes so deep they likely reach China hog the road to Struga, a city south of Skopje. When my eyes are stable enough to focus, I admire the snow-capped mountains, sparkling lakes and quaint, red-roofed villages that drift by. Who knew Macedonia's relief was so dramatic, even without the potholes? The average altitude is 830 metres. With only 2 million inhabitants scattered across 25,713 square kilometres, the country consists mainly of unbridled nature. Skopje (population 600,000) is the largest Macedonian community. The second is not even in Europe. It's Toronto – home to some 200,000 Macedonians. If Nikolovski is a "motorcycle rocker man," my next guide, Dzengis Patel, is a "pedestrian '80s mystic." Clad in head-to-toe denim, he ascribes magical powers to water and rocks. His daily breakfast: "Two cigarettes and a cup of coffee." We meet in Struga, where the claim to fame is an annual poetry festival in which bards spout verses from a bridge over the Black Drim (pronounced "Dream") River. Said river is chock full of eels in September and October. "When I was a kid we tied a fork on a stick and caught them, then ate them. It's an aphrodisiac, especially the blood of the eel," says Patel. Patel points up at a rusty-coloured rock face, where you can just make out some faded frescoes. "Let us have an Indiana Jones experience." We are six kilometres from Struga, on the Albanian border. "This has been a sanctuary for 5,000 years," says Patel. "First by the pagans, then the Christians." We ascend 300 metres. Below us gleams silvery Lake Ohrid. It's so big (358 square kilometres) and so deep (228.7 metres) that it's called a "fresh water sea."At the top, Patel flips on a light switch and we step into St. Archangel Mikhail, a church within a cave that was inhabited by monks until the 17th century. Its rough, curved walls and ceilings are covered in medieval religious paintings. The word "awesome" springs to mind. According to Patel, there are 54 similar caves around Lake Ohrid. There are also full-blown monasteries, like St. Naum. In addition to a hotel and spa complex, it houses the tomb of St. Naum himself. Legend has it that if you put your ear to the grave, you can hear his heart beating. I only hear the shrieks of the resident peacocks who strut outside. A pearl made from fish scales is Ohrid's less holy claim to fame. Somebody (probably a bad cook) figured out that, when overheated, the scales of the endemic Plasica fish congeal into a pretty white stone. Ohrid is not lacking in sparkle, as the Serbian, Bulgarian, Greeks and Albanian tourists who flock there every year can attest. The streets are peppered with craftspeople – a man makes religious prints on a Gutenberg press here, another carves elaborate floral motifs out of walnut there. Accommodation in Ohrid, like everywhere in Macedonia, is extremely affordable: $60 Canadian will score you a lakefront villa. Patel says hello to every second person we pass as we stroll along the waterfront in Ohrid. "We take care of each other. Friendship means a lot here," he says. Except when it comes to lions. They, along with bears, wild dogs and other aggressive animals were given a rather hostile welcome at the 3rd century BC ancient amphitheatre that sits intact in Ohrid. Ancient markings – the season tickets of yore – are still visible on some of the 2,700 stone seats. I could almost believe that I was in Athens, or Rome. Then we visit the place called Plaoshnik, or "high ground, " where the largest excavation in Macedonia's history is happening on the site of a 9th-century university. A lanky man in short green shorts and a woman's sweater picks his way through the rubble and approaches me. He sips a Red Bull. "Hello, my name is Slavo, and I am a philosopher." Nope, I am still in Eastern Europe.Rebecca Stevenson

...Macedonia is another place in Europe that really surprised me once I arrived there. The people in Macedonia are friendlier than any of the people I have met anywhere else in the world. The food is wonderful. The history is fascinating. And the cycling is superb. Macedonia is a difficult country to get to, but if you can make it there, it is certainly worth the trip... http://www.dreameurotrip.com/darren-alff-interview-euro-trip/
somebody said I'm lost!? dont worry its ok until u dont stumble across some system error like history repeating scene e.g. pagan celebrations, and if you ever get to that point, dont hesitate to contact ur insurance coz ur operating system could reprogram itself but now without ur familiar matrix assistance i.e. ur familiar spirits! so stay away from gatherings at paleolithic caves, neolithic hillocks and antique or medieval ruins! also be cautious if attend at disk'o gatherings, today transformed in trans festivities, that are regularly mess of frequencies and chemistry! anyway always have in mind:
“If Macedonia’s mountainous terrain could be flattened, the country would be larger than Russia,” proclaimed my vintner-guide, as we tasted a variety of vintages from his family-run winery. Hyperbole? Perhaps. Baseless? Not at all. Macedonia—or as natives pronounce it, Makedonia—makes up for its small size with topographic generosity. Deep valleys and plains complement soaring peaks. Rushing rivers criss-cross the region, interrupted only by the many placid lakes that dot the mountainous country. And if anything were to trump Macedonia’s physical beauty, it is the warmth of its people. Although unaccustomed to foreign visitors, Macedonians are nevertheless openly curious and welcoming as opposed to reserved and suspicious. In fact, many are actually enamoured by India—Mother Teresa was born in Skopje, the country’s capital, and most housewives prefer watching Bandini, an Indian soap subtitled in Cyrillic, to local TV shows. Condé Nast Traveller maps out a 14-day itinerary, clockwise from east that includes the must-sees of Macedonia.
Day 1 Strumica Strumica is the country’s gateway city from south-western Bulgaria. A small city, Strumica is famous for its larger-than-life carnival, a five-day street party held every year before Lent. If debauchery and drinking isn’t your cup of tea, opt to visit during any of the other 360 days of the year, when you can explore nearby waterfalls and ancient Ottoman mosques.
Day 3 Tikves Wine Region Macedonia makes you thirsty… for wine. Vintners in the Tikveš wine region have had eons to perfect the art—winemaking here dates back to the 4th century—and are quickly implementing better practices to improve their wines’ quality from the communist era. It is easy to vineyard-hop; just hire a car for the day. Notable wineries include Tikveš, Bovin and Grkov.
Day 6 Bitola You’ll notice Bitola’s charm as soon as you enter downtown. Numerous cafés, restaurants and bars flank the main pedestrian street and are populated by young, trendy professionals and students. If you ever feel guilty of whiling away the afternoon over a Skopsko Pivo, Macedonia’s leading beer, you can watch a local football match at the stadium near Bitola Park or roam Stara Čaršija, the old Ottoman quarter.
Day 8 Ohrid Ohrid is indisputably the gem of Macedonia, and perhaps even the entire Balkan region. This small town boasts an eclectic and substantial offering of natural grandeur, a pumping nightlife, deep history and expansive religious significances. According to legend, this city by the lake once had 365 chapels, one for every day of the year. Perched on a cliff close to Lake Ohrid’s shore, the Church of Sveti Jovan at Kaneo is at its most tranquil and photogenic at sunset. Although Ohrid itself can keep you lingering for days, we suggest you drive south along the lake’s shore to Sveti Naum, a monastery that’s home to intricate frescoes and numerous peacocks.
Day 11 Skopje Skopje is the cultural, administrative and economic capital of Macedonia. The Vardar River crudely divides the city; to the south, one will find a booming café culture, designer shops and most of the city’s nightclubs. To the north, lies the predominantly Albanian enclave of Čaršija and the looming Kale Fortress. This socioeconomic disparity is an excellent microcosm of today’s complex situation in the Balkans.
other thing about Pelagonia is that there people live longer than anywhere else in our country, as in towns so as in the villages from this region, average 75,8 y., example seven years longer than those around skopje [1] so definitely if one looks where to settle his traveling bags or camping gear, in same time having ood conscience that dont abate hosts life-powers, then Pelagonia is the right place, but have in mind that if u dont disrupt their health for shore u annoy their peace, when it comes to the villages, where money cant buy u happiness, at least in rural parts where time stopped long ago, example the village Oblakovo (cloudy, around clouds, Place in the Clouds) etc.
in other hand when walking in skopje among those ageless people, and looking them from pelagonian perspective, then u can truly understand their strive for some globalized rush, place where driving bike is like driving luxurious time spender, or even worse a health hazard that is obligated only for those that cant afford to have three or more cars, that is already rule coz our mother-lawn skopko pole is garage for 200-250k vehicles tho officially 140k are registered [1] at least this can be used as bribe for some michelin stars or puzzle out why we are still not listed as city at least with one http://www.viamichelin.com/web/Restaurants/Restaurants-Skopje-_-Makedonija-Macedonia
Whether a king, whether a peasant, if gained peace at home, he is a man of the world's most blissful joy! - Skopje Sounds 1997
before our modern-day heroes from Prilep there were many mythical figures that lived in Paionia i.e. Pelagonia [1][2] that was part of Emathia i.e. Macedonia [3][4] but back then they probably use gmo peppers and tobacco, coz it was time of aegean pantheon interference among the locals, time when magna mather was world-renowned chef [1][2][3] it was like someone found the right combination and people shared this neolithic gmo knowledge, but it was not! however magna matter's rule finally stopped when neolithic Delphi back then a shrine of mother goddess was displaced when Apollon killed the guardian dragon - python, and established his oracle on the site [1] after what started to shine the Macedonian Sun... one of the ancient oracular sites dedicated to Apollon is on mount Babuna in upper pelagonia, now near is the Treskavets Monastery that is 3-5h walk northeast from Prilep and in between are the boulders from post #48, here Apollo also slayed the dragon but now in middle ages as legend of the video says, in fact whole Pelagonia is mystical including its highest peak Pelister near Bitola and as valley almost to Pela the birth place of Alexander, valley where his father Philip trained his new infantry the famous ancient Phalanx [1] altogether place where once lived the neolithic Pelasgians... also there is another mythical place on Selechka mountain (part of Mariovo) in Pelagonia near village Bonche where recently is uncovered rare king tumulus from 4BC that is still touristicly unexploited which gives to the place additional charm for adventurers [1][2][3] yes whole Mariovo plain is hidden gem of the Pelagonia valley that in middle ages was occupied by Itar Peyo1 and Dete Tatuliche, place where spins unnoticed but potent vortexes, today used usually by the voulchers from post #49, place that is urbanless (but sadly there are plans for power dams and nuke) and i'll be glad if it stays as it is, a rural or primitive museum, as such best portrayed in the movie Dust a ethno-western drama waffle inspired by an american volunteer in IMRO during the Macedonian Struggle for independence from ottoman rule [1][2][3]
Today 11.10 is considered to be the symbolic beginning of the Macedonian Resistance in world war II that happened in the towns of Kumanovo and Prilep (upper Pelagonia) i.e. our partisans started eating the winter pickled peppers, tho the true is that they had already eaten some even earlier on 8 of september 1941 in Bogomila near Skopje [1] and symbolicly they repeat the same action again 50 years later in 1991 when we declare independence from those that we earlier seek to join them in collective socialistic stew that was lacking only bulgarian pistachio and romanian raspberries so it could cook little bit more longer!
however Prilep is considered to be town of ww-liberators that gave ideologists like MircheAcev, MetodijaShatorov-Sharlo and our first postwar president MetodijaAndonov-Chento but they were more on Ayvar than on Turshija (pickled peppers,carrots,cauli) coz Ayvar is fabulous condiment to any idea only they didnt succeed to unite Macedonia as they want #45 but at least we are connected to the other parts today by the peppers that are typical emblem for Macedonians, coz pepper is to Macedonia what corn is to Kansas [1] still who knows who invented the famous Ayvar but actually its turkish name that means salty caviar (hay-var) tho its etymology suggest on deeper meaning as divine dwell in (God is present in) and yes Ajvar is our local inland caviar! today is mostly made from socalled aivarka that actually is industrial variety brought in '60s from east, that became popular coz its large fruit and less effort for preparation...
although today our Ayvarka pepper is grown in Strumichko Pole, peppers were as always pelagonian alicia, among whom Kavardjik is the most strongest, cultivated also in Skopsko Pole, but the best local pepper is Selska macedonian variety of Capsicum microcarpum today mainly used for salads and meals and normally for our pepper spice Bukovec that as balkan brand is sold by the name Aleva (in azeric - fire), actually selska is balkan counterpart to chilli especially when dried, and maybe best variety is known as Vezena piperka - vezulka [1][2][3][4] dried is best served as cooked + breaded, also roasted for makalo etc. its name Vezeni (vez - embroidery) came from its embroidered pattern, always strung on long rope necklaces that are architectural ornament across whole Macedonia (video above), and in Prilep regularly companied by stringed tobacco leafs for which is believed are among those with most poisonous nicotine in the world [1] usually first class of tobacco leafs from Prilep goes directly for the best pipe tobacco blends and brands [1][2][3] but also in old good times a blend of Oriental and Virginia was sold here as MT from Kumanovo and Jugoslavia from Prilep, the first one abbreviation for Makedonski Tutun (macedonian tobacco) and really hardcore one, best macedonian gold for tabakera
as plant tobacco cover large part of our agriculture, it is estimated that 200k people live from it in the country i.e. 1/10 from the families in RM today are involved in and around tobacco cultivation, it is one of the most important industrial crops for Republic of Macedonia, possessing around 60% of the areas planted with industrial crops, and an average share of around 35-40% in total agricultural export [1] on other hand in the last few years we have euro-active anti-smoking campaigns that aim to clean at least the public spaces from smoking [2] restriction that came down to many as nazi act [3] nevertheless half population in the country is smoking, enjoying when damping in all junk leftovers of tobacco i.e. one cannot sell the cow and soup the milk, or can then at least its unearthly looking plant among our mountain peaks [[COLOR="#0066cc">4[/COLOR">]
if you want local food adventure, dont drink and drive, just eat makovacha and let it ride, only regular question as always was is it still safe to eat it? eating poppy seed food its not same as eating opium (which here literally means drunk mind) but its subconscious connection to the famous calming plant, which here is called Afion or Mak and as such is considered most potent along the varieties from india and turkey, but today cultivated in small amounts [1] thats why poppy is one of our national symbols embedded in our last coat and last 500den/10eur bill (like nowhere else), but more like forgotten reminiscence http://documents-mk.blogspot.com/2012/03/blog-post_29.html
although this black medic was cultivated here since antiquity yet in middle ages ottomans introduced its white forms and bust the production, making from macedonian opium brand, definitely due to our people,clime and soil
1960 Attempts to transfer the Macedonian poppy to other districts of Yugoslavia and to other countries have not been successful. Plants grown from the best Macedonian seed have yielded opium of a weaker quality than they did in Macedonia. ... MAcedonian opium has the highest morphine content in the world. ... The most characteristic property which distinguishes macedonian opium from other opiums is its typical ultra-violet absorption spectrum. ... In its history, Macedonia has often been the scene of armed conflicts during which the value of money fell overnight. Opium, on the other hand, has always been a stable "currency", the real value of which remains constant. Macedonian villagers therefore got into the habit of keeping opium as a "gold reserve" which is sold only in case of need. Thus it became a tradition among the villagers to keep opium for ten or more years as a dowry for their daughters.
This old custom of keeping opium instead of money was resumed during the Second World War and the occupation period. Opium became again the only stable currency. No serious control measures were undertaken and the opium was kept in the houses of many of the producers. After the liberation of the country measures were again taken on the basis of the Act of December 1938 for selling all the opium produced through one enterprise. These measures, which were further strengthened by the Act on Narcotic Drugs of 23 January 1950, have been most positive from the point of view of suppression of illicit traffic, but have decreased the interest of producers in cultivating opium. As a result of these measures, opium has ceased to be the household "gold reserve". ... It is difficult to explain the fact that in a country where the cultivation of the opium poppy is a centuries-old tradition there is no drug addiction among the direct producers. This may be explained by the fact that the poor Macedonian peasant has always been in the habit of sending the best and costliest products of his land to the market and keeping only the worst and the cheapest for himself. On the other hand, although the level of living of the Macedonian peasant has always been low by European standards, it has never been so low as to force him to seek an escape from his complete misery in drug addiction, as is often the case in certain Asian countries. http://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/data-and-analysis/bulletin/bulletin_1960-01-01_2_page003.html

The Oath of the Old Pot: In all the places where they conquered new lands, the Ottoman Turks had difficulties in convincing the people of different languages and faith to live together in peace and harmony. Eventually, a dervish from Anatolia taught them to seek out the spot where an enormous and very old earthenware pot was buried. He also told them, “In that old Pot the snake, frog and mouse live together and there is also a beehive. The old pot is at the bottom of a deep dried out well. If you build a city on that place people of all religions and languages will live there together as long as there is at least one piece of the old pot. Following on those instructions, they eventually came to the well they have searched for, and found the actual pot right there! They made a city bazaar on the same spot, and in time the city grew up around the bazaar. The city was called “Us Kup”, which in Turkish it means “The Old Pot”. And even to today, in turkish, Skopje is called USKUP. http://www.slideshare.net/krugoi-okoliski/a-survivor-guide-skopje

OM- Ohrid Macedonia
Michael Palin
Series: New Europe
Chapter: Day Twenty-seven: Ohrid
Country/sea: Macedonia
Place: Ohrid
The plodding Balkan highway, the E852, that enters Macedonia from the Albanian frontier, was once the illustrious Via Egnatia, a hugely important trade route, carrying goods from Italy to Constantinople. It was laid down by the Romans to join their empire with another they'd just conquered, the empire of Alexander the Great. Or as he's remembered here in his homeland, Alexander III of Macedon.
Today there's nothing left of the Via Egnatia or the trade that once must have flowed along it. The E852 connects the poorest country in Europe with the poorest country of the former Yugoslavia. Yet there is something about this first view of Macedonia that has power and presence, that makes you feel that whatever has befallen the country is a temporary aberration. This is a corner of Europe where history is made, not merely suffered.
It's all to do with the charismatic presence of Lake Ohrid. Overlooked in the west by the steep frowning mountains of Albania and by broad forested slopes to the east, it demands respect. Measuring almost 20 miles long and 10 wide, it plunges to a depth just short of 1,000 feet.
There has been a lake here for at least three million years, making it one of the oldest in the world, comparable with Titicaca and Baikal. It's perhaps no surprise that there are believed to be 350 religious establishments around its shores.
...
Slight feeling of déjà-vu this morning when I discover that our hotel is located on Quay Marshal Tito. The great man clearly had a thing about lakes for he had a palatial summer home here, to match the one at Bled in Slovenia, Ohrid and Bled virtually marking the eastern and western limits of his Yugoslavia.
all of these vibes are ok, but they cant demystify the matrix, rather only acknowledge it and support it, and only vibes that can dismantle or open its veils are traditional one, particularly the Orthodox Christian Singing [1][2][3] that is direction for all that seeks spiritual refuge if not salvation, tho after they follow each other... but this vibe needs experienced guide so it could become tour of ur life...
"The fathers of the Church guide us in discerning the answer to this question. They tell us to look into our soul, and if the soul is agitated it is because we are doing our own will and not God's; if, however, in spite of the troubles, we find peace in our situation, then we are walking the path which the Lord has ordained for us." http://orthodoxinfo.com/praxis/pr_guidance.aspx
this chanting is truly effective only if it is sincere act as by interpreters so as by the listeners [1] but also if it is accepted as service that is not evolving like fashion style or modern cooking recipes [2] tho better that than nothing!
orthodox church singing or its modern interpretations [1][2][3] that are strangely catchy even for us who are born here... [1]
still
when it comes to our capital
these vibes are dependent on instant people with instant life and habits, so here they are getting quite electric charge, but coz our loose standards more stuffed with dubwise frequencies that add extra filling on top of our local impossible city premise!
imposible or not Skopje has posible ways for fast sightseeing, only it must be layered simply by periods, as is done through these videos 1.1900-1970 then 2.1970-2010 and 3.2010-2020, yet the first video has three urban periods in that timeframe and all of these layers are preceded by the middleAge-antiquity-neolith layer and will be definitely complement by couple futuristic in near future [1]
