In recent years, as international travel plans have increased in Turkey, citizens have turned their routes toward safe countries that can be visited easily and without a visa. Balkan countries are at the forefront of these destinations.
Countries such as Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia are flooded with tourists in both summer and winter. The popularity of Balkan countries, which host a large number of visitors from Turkey, seems set to continue for some time.
North Macedonia, which captivates with its architecture and history, is among the most preferred countries in the Balkans. There are many reasons for this.
ITS CULTURE IS AS STRIKING AS ITS HISTORY
A large number of Turks live in North Macedonia, where both Ottoman and European architecture prevail. This number is particularly high in the capital, Skopje.
Entry to North Macedonia, which draws attention with its culture as much as its history, is visa-free.
In addition, because the tax rate in the country is low, those who go on vacation can shop to their heart's content.
THOSE WHO GO ON VACATION BECOME HOMEOWNERS!
Some Turkish citizens have increased their vacation dose a bit further and have started purchasing real estate in North Macedonia.
The fact that the tax rate in the country is 10 percent is quite attractive to investors. North Macedonia, whose tourism potential has risen compared to recent years, is quite pleased with this increase.
10% OF MACEDONIA IS STATUES!
The statues located in the center of the city, thanks to new architectural arrangements, are highly appreciated by tourists. This situation has even become a joke among visitors, saying, “70% of Macedonia is Macedonian, 20% is Albanian, and 10% is statues.”
EUROPEAN AND OTTOMAN ARCHITECTURE TOGETHER!
In North Macedonia, which has become a tourism paradise, the other city preferred besides the capital, Skopje, is Ohrid.
Lake Ohrid, which is under UNESCO protection, is one of the oldest and deepest lakes in the Balkans. Ohrid, preferred by vacationers in the summer, also leaves visitors in awe with its old town.
In Ohrid, where there are approximately 40 churches, there are also 10 mosques remaining from the Ottoman period.
North Macedonia is a very economical country. The Macedonian Denar is used in the country. Those who go on vacation can use credit cards in addition to cash.
