Recently a part of the large and fraternal family of the Yugoslav republics, Macedonia is just taking its first steps in the tourism field. She undoubtedly succeeds a lot, in solving other issues not everything is working out yet, but with each season, holidays in Macedonia with children are becoming more and more attractive for tourists from Russia.
For or Against?
The undoubted advantages of a trip to Macedonia include the well-known Balkan hospitality and love for children. In every hotel or restaurant, the baby will be given increased attention, and any parent's request will be fulfilled as far as possible. And also "for" holidays in Macedonia with children will be allowed to vote:
- Excellent cuisine, in which there are places for dairy dishes and fresh vegetables and juicy fruits and delicious desserts. At the same time, the portions in each cafe in the Balkan style are generous, and therefore you can completely get by with a plate of hot or salad for two with your baby.
- Macedonia is not very popular on the European tourist market - this is a chance to get out of the noisy crowds and see all the sights in a relaxed atmosphere. In addition, the small number of tourists so far makes the Macedonians keep the prices for all services within very reasonable limits.
- Untouched corners of nature are a real paradise for holidays in Macedonia with children of all ages. Mountains and lakes, parks and ancient sites - there are many routes for walks and trips. Given the compact size of the country, in one vacation, you can see all the most important and interesting things without haste.
Not too intensive air traffic between Russia and Macedonia does not allow freely operating with departure dates. A few charter flights from the capital of Russia to the main resort town of Macedonia, Ohrid, and or a direct regular flight to Belgrade and transfer there to a local flight to Skopje - these are all possible options to get to your holiday destination. Flying through Greece will require a visa and additional costs.
Preparing properly
When going on vacation to Macedonia with children, it is important to have a medical insurance policy in case of emergencies. The criminal situation in the country cannot be called cloudless either, and therefore the presence of a backpack or bag with reliable fasteners and attentiveness in crowded places are important rules for everyone who flies to Macedonia.
