Although the name Macedonia brings to mind images of ancient, great civilizations, today’s modern republic occupies only the western half of the ancient kingdom and is now only 40 percent of what it used to be. Being in the very heart of southeastern Europe, on the Balkan Peninsula, Macedonia has always been a crossroads connecting Christian Europe and the mystical Orient, making this a land of unequalled patchwork cultures.
Macedonia’s cultural treasures are a mixture of the fruits of diversity and archaeological legacy and it is not unusual to find antiquities from every stage of history, spread to every corner of this tiny, landlocked country, while it boasts all the amenities of the modern day world as well.
Macedonia’s cultural treasures are only outdone by the abundance of the types of indigenous and introduced game animals and it is also blessed with a wealth of wildlife. A number of different quarries on a single trip, can be hunted in this undiscovered composition of mountains, forests, rivers and lakes.
