Macedonia:
legacy of Alexander the Great
Meteora. Pinch yourself. Once again. Yes, it’s real
You’ve seen mosques — but none like the Painted Mosque of Tetovo
San Naum… Is there a more beautiful place to build a monastery?
We will travel between two countries, Greece and North Macedonia, in search of the essential places of Western culture.
A pause. Silence. We will listen carefully, hoping to catch the lingering echo of Aristotle’s words in the Nymphaeum of Mieza, where he once taught philosophy to, among others, the future conqueror Alexander the Great.
Before that, we will immerse ourselves in the history of magnificent Thessaloniki. We will explore key sites from the reign of Philip II and reach Meteora — a place that feels almost imaginary, with its monasteries perched atop dramatic rock pinnacles.
In North Macedonia, extraordinary places await us: Ohrid, with its churches, and Saint Naum, breathtaking in its beauty.
Roman remains, Muslim influences, a Byzantine past, neoclassical mansions… Bitola, Stobi, and Skopje will surprise us with their rich heritage, in a journey where the weight of history is felt at every step.
