Republic of Macedonia

These photos were taken in the Republic of Macedonia, mostly in May 2007 (although there are a few pictures from earlier visits). If you are looking for photos of the Province of Macedonia in Greece, you can find some in my Greece pages.

I just had to decide whether I apply for a job in Skopje or not, and your pictures made it clear as the water in these beautiful lakes: I want to go there ! Thanks for making me dream and keep your fingers crossed for my candidature !

very nice photos, good job. reminds me very clearly my trip to Macedonia last summer. I saw almost the same things, but of course, you could see some thing in different way, that's what makes it so interesting to me, to think about it and see it also from other perspective.

It is refreshing to see someone write about Macedonia! Last time I visited Macedonia was back in 1986 and I traveled by train "Akropolis Express" from Munich to Athens. We stopped for a few days in Strumica (Dorjansko Jezero), I believe was the name of the lake at Greek/Macedonian border. I hope to go back and visit again, now that Macedonia is an independent nation. Traveler from San Francisco, California - USA

thank you so very much for taking these pictures of my country! I am feelong homesick now! If you ever go back to Macedonia please visit my home town Kavadarci. It is a delightful little town with the biggest green park in the country and a remarkable tomb stone 3 floor building which has the bones of soldiers from the Second World War in its grounding. Also, it offers a beautiful view of the entire town!

Браво бате за сајтов. Ова е дел само до тоа со што македонија располага, за да дознате повеќе ќе треба да ја посеите. За крај како информација само да ве иформирам дека во Охрид има 365 цркви и манастири и кога ќе ги погледнеш од одoзгора изгледаат како КРСТ. ПОЗДРАВ :)))

Well, first, thank you for answering a question of mine on the forum, which is how I stumbled onto this goldmine of beauty. I gave up leaving individual comments after awhile, as there were far too many to make. One of my most beloved friends is from Skopje, and I cannot thank you enough for acquainting me so intimately with her beautiful country. Your photography is wonderful, and your eye sees many things the way I like to see them. (You also must be quite a hiker! ;^)

Great Photos all, thank you

Ahhh yes, Macedonia, the Biblical land upon which St. Paul walked and spread Christianity, a land also known as the Balkan Pearl. Lake Ohrid and the city Ohrid clearly deserve the title, especially since the city spread the Slavonic alphabet to all the Slavs. The photos show pristine nature. I wish you had had the chance to visit another couple of cities with equal magical beauty (such as the time preserved Krushevo - another UNESCO protected city, Debar - with the Turkish baths (hammams), etc. A highly commendable effort. Thank you for speaking to us with your camera.

Alan great pictures from Macedonia. Macedonia IS a nice place to visit, beautiful undiscovered country and Ohrid is a Master piece, and with one of the few natural lakes left in the world. I live in America also one of the most beautiful country, but proud to have been born in Macedonia. www.abstract-artland.com

I thought Ohrid was better value for money, but I was there in November when it was very quiet. I suppose prices are higher in summer.
Guest 15-Mar-2006 20:42
The best gallery I have ever seen of Macedonia and you are not even from there! Well done. How good is Ohrid in comparison with value for money to other places like Montenegro?

These are beautifully composed photos. Well done! My mother was born in Bitola although she left for the US just before World War I as an infant. I have always been curious about the town and about Macedonia in general. Your photos have further piqued my interest. Thank you.
