Macedonia - Thammy Evans

A treasure trove of adventures, Macedonia is emerging as a top new tourist destination. With its unspoilt mountains, lakes and spas, traces of old communism, and plenty of friendly hospitality at boutique hotels it's not hard to see why. The wines are rich, the history steeped, and the culture varied. This updated guide includes details of new historical sites, walks, accommodation and spas. In 2010 the International Herald Tribune ranked Macedonia 21st in its top 31 destinations to visit and the country also appeared in a CNN tourism special.
