I fell into Macedonia on a whim — I needed somewhere to go for two weeks in between Istanbul and Dubai. Skopje popped up as a cheap flight from Istanbul, and I booked that flight in no time at all. That said, I found it to be an absolutely fascinating country — and one that deserves to be visited more. Many guides say that Bulgaria is the cheapest, but I found Macedonia to be even cheaper than Bulgaria!
Typical costs? Delicious, cheap wine. Yummy and healthy food. I ate a lot of stuffed peppers, a huge variety of salads, and the occasional veggie pizza. And because the food is so cheap, you can sit down in a restaurant without even looking at the prices. Efficient, no-nonsense people.
Most people spoke good English as well. Easy travel connections within the region. I flew to Skopje from Istanbul on discount airline Pegasus Airlines. From money-changing booths that looked like fortune-telling booths to the fact that 90s music was played nonstop just about everywhere I went, I found Macedonia as interesting as it was beautiful.
Still, make sure you keep your expectations in check. In many ways, Macedonia reminds me of Bosnia. Buildings are crumbling. Taxi drivers parked at train stations can and will rip you off. The internet, though good in places, could overall stand to be improved. Lake Ohrid is snugly tucked in between Macedonia and Albania, but the Macedonian side is the more developed of the two. Even the president has a vacation home on the shores of Lake Ohrid. Taking a boat across it felt like I was gliding across an endless aqua cloud.
