The water park and the Krali Marko statue are both new. Prilep is wonderful city with a lot of hidden treasures. I'm surprised you weren't told to do the hike to Treskavec. It's a great hike to a beautiful old monastery. It's a great place to go to enjoy a relaxing or dinner and you used to be able to sleep there for a small fee and is a full day's worth of entertainment. There is even a bonus hike after the monastery that is a little more challenging to the golden apple. Makedonia Kuka's Turli Tava when paired with a Zlaten Dab is a taste treat found nowhere else. There is an excellent Thai restaurant owned by two of the nicest people you'll ever meet with delicious food. The ruins behind the motorcycle were of an old mosque that was at one time one of the most unique mosques in the Balkans. The story of how it came to be in ruins is very interesting. Prilep is a city rich in history. You really need more than one day to visit the city. I used to host couchsurfers there and they would change plans to stay longer. There is a beer festival that is a lot of fun there as well. Prilep is a perfect place to get a feel for what Macedonia really is about and the people there are fantastic.
People from North Macedonia call themselves Macedonians, not "Northern Macedonians". So I see nothing wrong with how you've called it. If you haven't been to Bitola, come visit it, it's only 40 km away from Prilep and it's pretty beautiful :D
@@djtheo8555 hmm, yeah i guess. I can never really know, I am Dutch. Is it not dificult to be proud of a country that does not exist anymore? Or is it more like a "culture that is not stopped by a border"? Probably: :to be slav= to understand"
@@metalpartiez how you are proud for a country that never exist?Maybe you are proud to steal Greek names and culture..Slavs are Slavs..Nothing will change that..
@@djtheo8555 Dear author! Without prejudice on matters regarding historicity, which I admit I do not subscribe to despite being someone from the Slavic population of this country, I thank you for not deploying the objectionable DOUBLE-INSULT "North" before "Macedonia". It is no palliative to the Greeks, and despite my own thoughts, serves only to alarm the Slavic majority of the land. When I use the term "Macedonia" myself, it is not meant as a slap in the face to our marvellous Greek neighbours. I use it because the key population uses it even in media and other publications. As the saying goes, you don't hold the tiger by the tail! :)))) But with regards the UN, I say that before 2002, Switzerland was not even a member, and the Vatican still isn't. It may be the world's largest intergovernmental organisation, but the question remains, WHO CARES what one is called in the UN. If I became dictator of Macedonia or any ex-YU country, my first act will be to pull the plug on our UN membership. Reagrds! Lieve vrienden!! :))))
