The HIDDEN GEMS of SKOPJE - A Balkan Food Tour!

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

From the food to the diverse history Skopje is a fascinating case study in the Balkans.

[@paradise-adventures]

Wow, so many statues. It's quite fascinating. The old town looks very cool, lots of nice scenic points and restaurants to check out. The National Museum looks like a great way to check out some more statues and artifacts too.

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

A lot of history in this region.

[@rightrecipefortravel]

This area is something brand new for me. The food looked delicious and the museum was really good. Thanks for the tour

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

It's worth a trip someday. Just not in the winter 😂

I have never been to this country, but I am highly motivated to go there because it is not a typical destination for the tourist masses, yet the country has a lot to offer for those who want to explore it. It seems that the people are friendly and the food is delicious, especially their kebab, which I have tasted in another country.

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

Next time I want to get into my the mountains

[@KayandGogo]

Beautiful stone Bridge I love how the 4 bridges connect the split. Love the statues too. Bread with bread yummy haha 😄 Amazing views from the fortress despite the pollution. Loved the Balkan dinner with music 🎶

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

It was a great stay

[@traveladvisorak6065]

That was a nice tour of the historical monuments and the city. The Balkan dinner was yum..

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

Oh it was so good

[@AmaiwanTraveler]

Wow, what a delicious journey through Skopje! 🍴 Loved how you showcased not just the amazing Balkan cuisine but also the rich history and culture of the city. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

Thanks

[@TheAverageTourist]

Your description of the bread with bread... had me. Wow looked awesome. And your dinner in Skopje (sp?) looked really delicious I love trying new food. The museum and bazaar seemed nice too.

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

It was a fun two days. If it hadn't been so smoggy it would've been perfect.

[@TheAverageTourist]

@@AdventuresOfATravelingDon I hare when the weather conditions make travel less than ideal - but I guess that's a chance we all take with travel. Still looked awesome.

[@KitatheExplorer]

Yeah it sounds I do not need to go there during the winter. My allergies are horrible. I would probably just be miserable there during winter. And how cool are all of those statues, especially the one in the water. Lastly, your dinner looked delicious.

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

It was something I wasn't expecting

[@RagainAdventures]

Beautiful town. The food looks amazing as always. Love the Museum of Archaeology.

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

IT was a great museum

[@TravelingAtoZ]

What a cute city. The bread with bread looks tasty!

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

Oh I could get fat off that

[@AndysWorldJourneys]

so you ARE heading to Tirana next?? exactly following my Sofia - Skopje - Tirana route!! lol. I didnt notice poor air quality there in March last year (Skopje) so interesting that you had issues especially as there didnt seem to be many clouds about. By the way, to BLOW you mind a fun fact - Cotton Candy here in Australia is 'Fairy Floss'. In the UK though it's 'Candy Floss'. How this differences came about I dont know. but WOW right?

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

That's an odd change of name. Yeah however after Tirana I headed to Kotor. I don't remember if you did that one.

[@AndysWorldJourneys]

@@AdventuresOfATravelingDon no i took the ferry to Italy. Kotor is lovely though I bet you had a great time there! although not sure what its like in the winter,,,, brrrr!

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

@@AndysWorldJourneys it's actually not too bad. At least at sea level. Chilly breeze at night but, during the day it got up to 60°F.

[@AllenMacCannell]

I've never noticed bad air quality, but i also rarely hang out in the very Tsentar

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

It was bad the two days I was there. Not sure if that was an anomaly. It was just my experience.

[@JayandSarah]

Air pollution in Skopje is quite bad in summer

[@vickisworldtravel]

[@BenjaminOh-eu9bm]

So much history that crosses the span of multiple empires!

[@bassguitar914]

We will take 4 orders of "bread on bread"!

Oh my God it was sooo good.

[@StepsbyKaatje]

I saw a series about Alexander not that long ago. I didn't know that he was from Macedonië before. Lots of history there and good good! 😊

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

Technically Alexander was Greek. The original Macedonians were a branch of Greeks that settled the North. I believe they spoke a unique dialect of Greek but, they did consider themselves Greek. The old Kingdom of Macedonia I believe covered what is now the Republic of Macedonia, a big chunk of Northern Greece and bits of Albania and Bulgaria.

[@StepsbyKaatje]

@@AdventuresOfATravelingDon oh, ok. I'll try not to forget! 😁

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

@@StepsbyKaatje no problem, believe me this is all info I learned after the video came out. Greeks have been getting on my butt about it constantly

[@johncrocodiloff9238]

Macedonia was never Greek, Greece is a German invention from 1832, the so called Greeks are Turko-Albanians.
