Činar
Stroll ul Sveti Kliment Ohridski, lined with cafes and shops, to reach this enormous, 900-year-old plane tree – a likeable Ohrid landmark.
Sultan Murat Mosque
This 1436 mosque is among the Balkans oldest and features a distinctive, red-tipped clock tower and Ottoman madrasa (Islamic school) remnants.
Classical Amphitheatre
Ohrids impressive amphitheatre was built for theatre; the Romans later removed 10 rows to accommodate gladiators. It hosts Summer Festival performances.
Sveti Dimitrija
Although dominated by mosques and mainly populated by Albanian Muslims, youll find the cute 19th-century church of Sveti Dimitrija just over the bridge from Čaršija.
Mosques
Bitolas 16th-century Yeni , Isak and Yahdar-Kadi Mosques , all between the Dragor River and the Stara Čaršija (Old Bazaar), are Ottoman remnants, as is the enormous Clock Tower (Saat Kula).
Car Samoils Castle
The massive, turreted walls of the 10th-century castle indicate the power of the medieval Bulgarian state. Ascend the stairways to the ramparts for fantastic views over the town and lake.
Stara Čaršija
The Stara Čaršija, the old Turkish market, once boasted around 3000 clustered artisans shops in Ottoman times; today, only about 70 different trades are conducted, but its still worth a wander around.
Mustafa Pasha Mosque
Standing on a plateau at the very top of the bazaar, the 1492 Mustafa Pasha Mosque is a superb and untouched example of classical Ottoman architecture, with its magnificent colonnades, soaring minaret, impressive dome and lovely rose garden.
Memorial House of Mother Teresa
This extraordinarily ugly and frankly bizarre, retro-futuristic structure contains a display of memorabilia relating to the famed Catholic nun of Calcutta, born in Skopje in 1910. Look out for the Mother Teresa quotations on plaques around the city centre as well.
Širok Sokak
Bitolas Širok Sokak is the citys most representative and stylish street, with its multicoloured facades and European honorary consulates attesting to the citys Ottoman-era sophistication. Enjoying the cafe life here as the beautiful people promenade past is an essential Bitola expe
Sveti Pantelejmon Monastery
Further west along Vodno, this 1164 monastery is among Macedonias most significant churches. Its Byzantine frescoes, such as the Lamentation of Christ, depict a pathos and realism predating the Renaissance by two centuries. Its 5km from the centre (by taxi, 300MKD) and offers great
Mt Vodno
Framing Skopje to the south, Vodnos popular with hikers, though a gondola up the mountainside operates too. Two restaurants stand at Sredno (Middle) Vodno (taxis drive here for 200MKD). Hiking trails take you to the 66m-high Millenium Cross (2002), the worlds largest and illuminate
Sveta Bogorodica Bolnička & Sveti Nikola Bolnički
Ohrids minor frescoed 14th-century churches have somewhat irregular opening hours, but are worth a look if youre passing and they are accessible. Bolnica means hospital in Macedonian; during plagues visitors faced 40-day quarantines here. Both churches are small, but have intricate
