"Such a great tour. My guide from Skopje knew the area well and we had an excellent day touring around Kosovo. Pristine is an incredible city with unique architecture and a lively cafe life. Prizren, a shortish drive away was busy on a Sunday afternoon but such a unique place, where several cultures seem to enter a mosh pit of a village, with churches, mosques and European style streets. The hike to the fortress was steep but well worth it. It was a really nice way to spend the day and I would recommend this day trip to anyone visiting Skopje. Make sure to try some desserts and a glass of boza, a fermented wheat drink that reminds me a little of Kabucha."..."
