Prilep - Macedonia's unknown gem with water park and Marko's towers
Our first encounter in Prilep was with the host of our guest house Hristijan. This intelligent man quickly laid out all the possible attractions in Prilep and proved to be inspiring in conversation about life in the Balkans and in general.
Upon his advice we went to visit Marko's towers. In the oddly shaped mountains overlooking Prilep are the remnants of a 13th century fortress built under the rule of king Marko. Even though he was the last to rule Macedonia before the 500 year rule of the Ottoman empire, much of the fortress and towers are still standing strong.
The walk up the mountain towards the fortress is very scenic with unobstructed 360° views of the surroundings. On top you can see the entire town of Prilep and krusevo.
After this hike we cool down in Salida aquapark, Prilep's swimming pool that has 5 water slides. The pool is more of a swimming pool than an aquapark, but for the admission price of less than 2€, who can complain?
The next day we visited the city market. After some shopping for fruit and vegetables we were still short of some Rakia. Informing about the availability of Rakia, we quickly found us befriending Milan. A friendly market vendor that sold both the clear and golden Rakia.
