After belonging to many empires over time (including Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and most recently Yugoslavian), Macedonia gained its independence in 1991, and Skopje, with about half a million people, is its largest city and capital. Despite its age, the city looks quite modern, owing to a massive 1963 earthquake that destroyed 75% of its buildings. Skopje has long been shared by Christians and Muslims, who still come together at the fascinating Old Bazaar, one of the Balkans' largest markets.

A wonderful day exploring this quite unknown country and learning about their history. Jeton was amazing at explaining the history and discussing the present with us over a coffee and then showing us around the capital before driving us off to Prizren to wonder around this charming little town. The scenery around here is wonderful and the people are hardworking and friendly despite their horrible past. I am so glad we made this journey from Skojpe to understand this nation a bit more despite ignorant, scared family telling us it was not safe. I recommend this to everyone I meet and Jeton was the perfect guide for the day
