Beschreibung:
Thammy Evans lived and worked in Macedonia for five years as political advisor to NATO HQ Skopje. Now she continues to work on development and governance issues at the International Security Sector Advisory Team in Geneva, Switzerland, whilst working on other authoring projects in her spare time. She has written the Bradt Guide to the Great Wall of China, and is currently writing the Bradt Guide to Istria. She has a second home in Croatia.
A treasure trove of adventures, Macedonia is emerging as a top new tourist destination. With unspoilt mountains, lakes and spas, traces of old communism, and friendly hospitality at ethnic hotels, it's not hard to see why. The wines are rich, the history steeped, and the culture varied. This remains the only standalone English-language guide to the country and the author shares her love of the country with expanded coverage of eastern Macedonia and its hot springs, rock art and megalithic observatory. For travellers with special interests there is extensive coverage of the World War I battlefields, including diving for World War I tugboats in Lake Ohrid; new eco-tourism lodges, food, and hiking routes; and details of the ever-increasing luxury spas opening in Bansko, Banje, and Stip.
Recently explored by Michael Palin and by Richard Bangs, Macedonia is a treasure trove of outdoor adventures, folk festivals, and picturesque scenery. Still the only English travel guide to the country, this second edition has been completely updated to keep up with the advances in this former Yugoslavian territory that has enjoyed independence for over a decade.
