Interesting idea! We did use bikes when we visited Zagreb, Croatia. This city was great for biking at least what we saw and experienced. What countries do you want to visit?@@bikefoodstories
Skopje Macedonian City looks fantastic and wonderful views of the city Skopje Macedonian is the best cantry in the Balkan I love my city Skopje Macedonian 🇲🇰🇲🇰🇲🇰
Thanks! We enjoyed staying in Skopje. The people of Skopje were friendly and helpful. Also, we enjoyed the variety in this capital. Are you from Macedonia?
Thanks for watching and commenting. We have been to Greece but never Macedonian Greece. Skopje was engaging and full of history. Also, the locals in Skopje were wonderful and open.
City of Skopje in Macedonia ✅ Don’t care that Greece calls it North because they occupy Macedonian land ( Northern Greece is what they call ) That land they occupy since 1912 does not belong to the Greeks.
@@eastwestworld6648It depends what part of Greece you are referring to. The Northern Greek region of Macedonia shares land with North Macedonia so there are definitely some similarities.
@@BigSmallTravel The Greeks viewed them as barely Greek. But what is Greekness? It’s pretty convoluted. The kingdom of Macedon and the Greek city states had many similarities, but also differences.
Thank you for watching! We spent a long time in Skopje as well, about a month or so, and enjoyed it. Skopje is affordable and the locals are friendly and open. Also, the food, history, and culture is engaging. Where are you from?
Thank you very much! We enjoyed Skopje. We stayed for a long time and enjoyed meeting and socializing with the locals. And yes, the statue at 9:46 is interesting for sure! Where are you from?
Totally agreed, your assessment is spot on! Brutalism is at times depressing but there is a comforting appeal to it as well. We were surprised to find out Japanese architects helped popularize Brutalism in Skopje. Hope you are well?
Your videos obviously don't have any likes. Seems to me it's more insulting than respectful. When you go to Rome, do you speak about the many statues there? You have statues in every country in the world, something what Skopje was missing after the catastrophic earthquake. Learn how to pronounce the name of the city which is Skopje (Skopye) not Skope! The river doesn't divide the city on ethnic grounds and there're certain Albanian population in the old bazar because the Albanians are mostly selling vegetables on the market. Foreign flags you can find in other countries too, why is so weird to see Albanian flags? Skopje is among the most polluted cities in Europe during winter but certainly isn't on the top of that list.
Thanks for the comments again. Your observations are appreciated very much. First, we really enjoyed the people of Skopje, they were very kind and helpful to us. Also, we liked our time there very much. So, we discuss the Albanian flags because we saw so many hanging in various parts of town. We would expect to see the flag of Macedonia more ... We met a few locals from Skopje who thought the river divides but again it is an opinion of course not a fact. Are you from Skopje? Pronunciation is difficult in Macedonian so forgive us ... Lastly, we speak to more locals in the video at 13:40
@@BigSmallTravel Albanian flags you can see mostly on the big market where they sell them but also Macedonian and Turkish flags. Macedonian flags you can see everywhere on the public institutions, main squares. During public holidays you can see Albanian flags alongs side with the Macedonian flag only in the municipalities where the Mayor is from Albanian origin. Since the big market is part of such municipality, that's why you can see them. The main square Macedonia is part of the western side of the river and is mostly with Macedonian population and the market is on the eastern side of the river, but the eastern part of the country is mostly with Macedonian population. The major Albanian population is on the northern part of the city and the northwestern part of the country. How's possible the river to divide the city and the country by ethnicity? It can be an opinion on shallow minds only. Maybe it's just my personal feeling, but I think that your video is more with intention to diminish the value of the city. Again, have in mind, that people in Macedonia don't like to call their country North Macedonia especially when you emphasize that "north"! I already explained to you in another message how and why that "north" was attached to the name Macedonia. If you like to get more LIKES from the locals of the country what you visit, try to avoid mentioning things what they don't like to hear or pin their ears and eyes. All best!
Μια ερώτηση. Ήταν ο πολιτισμός, οι θεοί, τα ονόματα, η μυθολογία των αρχαίων Μακεδόνων παρόμοια με τους Σλάβους ή παρόμοια με τους Έλληνες; Θέλω την απάντησή σου.
Hello, thanks for writing! Yes, like Albania as well. I think Macedonians share similarities with the Greeks. Look at the map and you can clearly see how connected everyone is in this area.

Beautiful! The best for me is the food market!
Thank you! The food in Skopje was surprising and good. Have you visited North Macedonia?
@BigSmallTravel not yet! But eastern Europe could be my next destination for a bike trip

It is odd ... Greece does not look or feel like Macedonia. I find that Greece has a feeling that is quite different. Are you Macedonian?
@@eastwestworld6648It depends what part of Greece you are referring to. The Northern Greek region of Macedonia shares land with North Macedonia so there are definitely some similarities.
Are you saying the whole of Macedonia doesn’t belong to the Greeks?

MAKEDONIJA EXIST 25 CENTURIES from FILIP KING ON MAKEDONIJA.
Oto german make Greece before 190 years.
Skopje is very unusual, but we quite enjoyed our time there. Especially all the statues (so unique)! We spent 10 days there :)

We r planning our trip in first week of April with our 8 yrs old daughter
Wow, that sounds like fun. How long will you stay in Skopje? We stayed in a couple of different areas.
Shot video!!!
Thanks for watching. Do you mean short?
Skopje looked interesting .. I was in 🇽🇰 Kosovo 2004 it was in UN control and not on any map in those days 😊
Safe Travels 👍 🙏
It's a very beautiful country with a lot of natural scenes.
Thank you for watching. Yes, even if you are within Skopje you can be in the mountains and hike as you can see at 21:28
The beauty in that hike is nice.
Wow! Will you go to Kosovo next? Parts of Skopje look like Vegas.
Hi! As travelers we say, "Never say never." But, we you never know with traveling ...
