Weekend Getaway: Ethno Complex “Macedonian Village” for an Authentic Macedonia Experience

Deep in the heart of Macedonia, beneath the shadow of Vodno Mountain, lies a special world — “Macedonian Village.”

This is not just a tourist attraction, but a true journey through time and the cultural heritage of our country. The complex is an open-air living museum, where every stone, wooden beam, and textile tells a story from the past.

Here, traditional Macedonian architecture blends with priceless crafts — handwoven rugs and embroidery that have been cherished as sacred treasures in our homes for generations. Houses from various regions of Macedonia have been meticulously reconstructed down to the smallest detail. The cobblestone paths, verandas, and courtyards create a feeling as if you’ve stepped back into a simpler, warmer time.

Within the complex is the Macedonian Ann Hotel, which—with its authentic interior and warm hospitality—offers you a peaceful retreat and a genuine experience of Macedonian tradition. Each room is decorated with natural materials and details that tell a story.

The gastronomic heart of “Macedonian Village” is the Antigona Restaurant, where food is not just a meal—but part of the cultural experience. Traditional dishes prepared in the old-fashioned way, served with love and respect for the home table, will awaken your appetite and leave you with an unforgettable taste of Macedonia.

“Macedonian Village” is a place where cultural heritage isn’t kept behind glass — it’s touched, tasted, and truly experienced. A place where every guest becomes part of the story and leaves with memories filled with the scent of wood, the sound of footsteps on cobblestones, and the colors of handmade textiles.
