"Mostly Macedonia" Pijlmans's Profile

Hi there,

My space here on VT is mostly about Macedonia. My girlfriend is from Skopje in Macedonia and we live in Amstelveen, close to Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

If you are interested in Macedonia, check out my travel pages and tips about Macedonia in general, and the specific sections about the places we visited below.

The links in bold refer to pages and sights that in my opinion are extra worthwhile.

A special page dedicated to Hiking in Macedonia .

Skopje, the capital of Macedonia and the artificial Lake Matka.

The east side of Lake Ohrid: Ohrid, Leskoec, Velgosti, Ramne, Velestovo, Konjsko, Pestani and Trpejca.

The west side of Lake Ohrid: Struga, Kalista, Radozda, Oktisi, Vevcani, Visni and Gorna Belica.

The west side of Lake Prespa (Stenje), Konjsko and the uninhabited island Golem Grad.

The east side of Lake Prespa: Podmocani, Kurbinovo, Slivnica, Nakolec, Ljubojno and Brajcino.

Combine your trip from Skopje to Ohrid with some sightseeing and check out these places:

Along the main road from Skopje to Ohrid: Tetovo, Lesok, Gostivar, Tajmiste, Kicevo, Vrbjani, Lesani, Velmej, Meseista, Volino and Orovnik,
