Southwest Macedonia


The Southwestern Region is located in the south west of Macedonia. It borders Albania to the west....

The landscape of the region is made of lakes and mountains. If you are a nature lover you should probably make a stop in the region, in the Ohrid Lake, the Prespa Lake, the Karaorman mountains, the Illinska mountains or the Smolari waterfalls. There are also some nice monasteries to visit, such as the monastery of Bogorodica and the monastery of Saint Leontius.
